ST. PAUL, MN (June 27, 2011) - Imagine saying "no thanks" to the neighborhood kid selling lemonade in front of their house. It's tough to do. Now envision nine hard working youngsters selling lemonade from their self-made stand at a St. Paul Saints game.not only is it tough to say no, it's nearly impossible! Saints fans will have the opportunity to "say yes" and drink lemonade until their hearts content at an upcoming home game.

On Sunday, June 5 kids from all-around the Twin Cities participated in Lemonade Day with a chance to fine tune their early entrepreneurial skills. Nine winners who were selected from the area have been awarded the opportunity appear at the Saints game on Tuesday, June 28. They will set up their stands on the boulevard sidewalk in the tailgating lot at Midway Stadium so fans can purchase the sweet cups of lemonade.

The nine winners at the Saints game were the top three finishers in the categories of best tasting lemonade, best business and best stand. They will be introduced during a ceremony on field prior to the Saints vs. Fargo Moorhead Redhawks game and will each throw out the "first lemon."
