Video: Lemonade Kids

Sure, it used to cost a nickel when you sold it by the curb.

But you can’t complain about the 50 cents or so kids are charging at their lemonade stands these days.

The way this summer has been going, young entrepreneurs would be wise to mix up a couple of pitchers and set up shop. Thirsty drivers – or pedestrians, if anyone is braving the heat on foot – won’t be able to resist.

A group of Corteland Drive residents had success recently raising money for a good cause: raising money to support people with phenylketonuria, or PKU. Customers seemed to consider the 50 cents a bargain, plus they didn’t hesitate to contribute extra when they learned where the money was going.
