Ada entrepreneurs

Summer in Ada - baseball, apple pie, and lemonade. These youngsters want your business. On a hot Tuesday afternoon, they were waving cars over to sell occupants a cold glass of lemonade. Nick Hartman handles the sign, while Daylan Hartman, Dale Hoyt, Connor Daugherty, and Xander Wells are servers. The lemonade cart on wheels is located on Main just south of the fire station. What was especially nice for this reporter was their offer of a free glass of lemonade for the publicity. Their parents have taught their children to be thoughtful...and to be entrepreneurs.
