Children across the country took part in Lemonade Day on Saturday. Eight stands were set up in Whitecourt, including at Festival Park, IGA, Canadian Tire, Twice Is Nice, and Wedow Park. Youth worked with Community Futures Yellowhead East to learn how to run a stand as young entrepreneurs, including getting a food permit and a Town of Whitecourt permit. Judges visited each stand and gave out three ribbons: Best Tasting Lemonade, Best Stand, and Entrepreneur of the Year. This year’s judges included staff from Pembina Pipelines, the event sponsor, Councillors Serena Lapointe, Derek Schlosser and Deputy Mayor Braden Lanctot. The Best Tasting Lemonade ribbon went to Hailey and Sophia at Lemonade Palace for their orange and strawberry lemonade. Best Stand was awarded to Ava and Zoey at Lovely Lemonade, and Entrepreneur of the Year was awarded to the Squeezies Squad of Nathalia, Audrey, Scarlette, Audrey and Elijah.
