It's the season for lemonade

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, July 4, 2017

A sunny summer Sunday finds Korbyn, 5, and Jazzalyn, 8, Oglesbee selling lemonade at 50 cents a cup in front of 4 Seasons Drive Thru. To add to their profits, cookies were on sale, too, reduced from $1 each to 50 cents each. It didn't take long for the entrepreneurs to raise their first $20 for the day. One tenet of business: location, location, location...and they had that. A hot day helped, as well.
