Saturday, June 21st, 202,5 was Lemonaid day in Casper, Wyoming.

Below are some photos of a few of the best stands.

The first stand that caught my eye was tropical, with a young lady holding up a big sign and dancing to get the attention of passing cars.

The enthusiasm made me stop.

Lemonade Day is presented by Hilltop Bank, Sutherlands, Admiral Beverage, Country Time Lemonade, the Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming, and Townsquare Media.

The mission behind the special day is to encourage kids to become the next wave of entrepreneurs.

This is an excellent way for your kids to learn about business, responsibility, finances, marketing, communication, self-esteem, problem-solving, and creativity.

Once the kids register at Hilltop Bank, they get a packet that contains everything they'll need to get started.

Casper is one of 97 communities in the U.S. and Canada that hold the annual Lemonade Day, where over 1.5 million kids will spend the day earning their part of $184 million in profit since the program began in 2007.

The kids have to think about presentation, budgeting, and pricing.

Don't skimp out on the customer service.

There was no way for me to stop and take pictures of every stand.

I only had so much money, and my bladder can only hold so much lemonade.

I mean, come on, there is no way I can stop and not buy something.

What to do with all those snacks they sold? I'll probably leave them for everyone at work.

Who am I kidding?

I ate them all before the weekend was over.

Cattle & Crawfish, A Wyoming Roundup Story

It's the time of year when Wyoming ranchers get together and help each other with the roundup.

These are family and neighbor affairs.

After the work is done, there is always a gathering and a meal.

This year, it was imported crawfish - boiled.

Model Trains Astound & Inspire At Cheyenne Depot

Recently, the depot at Cheyenne, Wyoming, held Depot Days to celebrate the history of one of America's most important railroad stops.

Special thanks to the Slick Rail.

With its many detailed and weathered structures trackside, the Slick X Line O-scale layout is fun for both young and old.

The 40-foot-long modular traveling display was built by five members over a 2-year period, using their 1st letter of each of their names to form the name.
