Children and teens have a chance to win six prizes in the Little Lemonade Legends contest on Sunday, Aug. 25. 

The Aldergrove Business Association (ABA) contest is for kids between ages six and 16, and the winners will be determined by public and ABA voting based on taste testing.

"The idea is to have an Aldergrove child partner with a local business and ask advise on how to run a successful lemonade stand,鈥 explained Jodi Steeves, president of the ABA.

There are 15 kids signed up to compete for a chance to win one of the six prizes, which is made up of three cash prizes of $100 each for ABA judging and three cash prizes of $50 each for "people's choice." The prizes are sponsored by Country Lumber, G&F, Otter Co-op, Stickys Candy, Bellevue Park, Jodi Steeves PREC, and Panago Pizza. 

Steeves said there are no strict rules on the lemonade recipes. Kids can get creative.

"Each participant will be given a six-foot table and participants bring their decor for the table, lemonade, and sample glasses," Steeves said. 

She recommends kids use mini glasses for the lemonade and a tip jar. 

Kids can compete as individuals or teams, such as siblings. The kids do not have to live in Aldergrove to take part.

People can sign up their children at the ABA website . For more information, they can contact littlelemonadelegends@gmail.com or 604-833-5634.

Steeves said there is no limit to the number of entrants. If the entrants know an Aldergrove business, they can reach out to ask about partnering, otherwise the ABA will match entrants with a business mentor. The kids can ask questions of the business partner or use questions provided by the ABA.

鈥淭here will be 10 questions provided that the student can ask a local business. The local business will provide a sandwich board next to their sponsored lemonade stand as a sponsor," she said.

鈥淭hey can do a phone call, or they can come in and meet the business person in person." 

Steeves explained that the business partners are there to share their knowledge so the kids can run a successful lemonade stand.

"[We're] excited to bring this back for its second year," she said, adding that the event saw 120 tasters last year. 

The public event takes place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Aldergrove Plaza, 272 Street and Fraser Highway.
