2024 Winners
Thank you to the community for supporting our youth entrepreneurs in a very successful day! Over 400 people visited downtown Ellsworth to shop, visit, and enjoy the amazing lemonade! Most of our business owners ran out of their supplies and had to send parents running to the store for more!
Thank you for your support and we can't wait to welcome more entrepreneurs in 2025!
Lemonade Day
What is Lemonade Day?
Thanks to Network Kansas for providing another fun opportunity to build entrepreneurship in our community's children!
Give your child the opportunity to follow their dreams and be their own boss by learning how to start and run their own real-life business and make their own money on Lemonade Day!
• Lemonade Day is an experiential and educational program for grades K-6 youth that prepares them for life by introducing them to entrepreneurship and providing them with the opportunity to start, own and operate their first business — a lemonade stand.
• Registered youth will receive access to the My Lemonade Day app with lessons on setting a goal, creating a lemonade product, making a budget and business plan, finding an investor, choosing a location, building a stand, marketing their business, and ultimately running their business on Lemonade Day.
• On this one special day on August 3, 2024 in downtown Ellsworth, your child will set up their lemonade stand in conjunction with the downtown event Vintage to Vibrant and Ellsworth Cowtown Days, and make lemonade sales!
