Lemonade stands have long served as a fun summer pastime for children wanting to earn some spending money. This summer many tots in and around Solon are selling lemonade for another cause: to help children and pets in need.
Solon Early Childhood Parent Teacher Association, an organization of some 290 families, is conducting its Lemonade Stand Project to benefit two local charities: Project Night Night based in Twinsburg and the Geauga Humane Society Rescue Village in Russell.
