Thank you for a great lemonade day!

For Jack Gorski, there were a lot of hard decisions to make for his lemonade stand, but it was fun and hard all at the same time!

Jack had to make decisions like how many cookies to make and how much to charge for lemonade, which his parents credit to learning about supply and demand first-hand.

Jack's parents, Tom & Debbie Gorski, assisted him in setting up his stand on the big day at the Middlebury Lemonpalooza festival, but they left the business to him! They helped him make banners and set up the stand ,but they let him come up with his own ideas and business model.

Jack sold his lemonade for $1 a cup in the parking lot of Das Dutchman Essenahus. Gorski also sold baked goods, including cookies and Rice Krispie treats, for a dollar.

Jack decided that fifty percent of his profits were to be donated to Riley's Children's Hospital, and after paying back his parent investors, he decided to save half for himself!

Jack hopes to participate again next year and is already planning his stand.
