NEW DATE FOR THE LEMONADE STAND ATTEMPT AND WHY: We have set a new date for our world record attempt for the longest lemonade stand to Saturday, June 11, 2011. We had hoped to do it in May but realized that was the same day as Claire's day here in Maumee. Claire was a young lady who passed away unexpectedly and to honor her memory and love of reading, her parents started a day that honors and rewards kids for reading, provides literacy-based activities, such as meeting authors and illustrators, and celebrates the joy of life through books. We love this event and want to support it; therefore, we did not in anyway want to take away from the tradition and celebration.
A FEW FACTS SO FAR: Did you realize that to create a 1/4 mile long lemonade stand (the goal) will take 165 eight-foot long tables, approximately 650 gallons of lemonade to sold for charity, and 300 lbs of ice? We plan to share each step of the way on our attempt to set the Guinness World Record! We hope to have volunteer subcommittees established soon...please stay tuned!
