Youth Blast features The Lemonade Game led by Vickie Newmeyer
(GM Meridian CFDC), and leads students through the basics
of marketing. Teams of students develop and design a ‘mini-business’
through the creation and promotion of a Lemonade Stand. The
students collaborate, coming up with creative concepts and
innovative ideas, bartering at ‘the lemonade store’,
and bantering to get out of fines. Local celebrities present
a coveted cold hard cash prize to the winning team. Laughter
and learning fills the air as Be Youth Blast always promises
to be a day of fun.
