The Naamans Creek Road turning lane doesn’t know what hit it.

It was humid to say the least – with the heat index in the low 100s – but Alex’s Lemonade Stand, as always, was a success.

Our overall total collected is lower than in years past. However, we have to consider that the number of stands has increased dramatically since we started our local stand in 2005.

A good percentage of the money was collected from the driver-side windows of generous travelers on Route 202 North. We stepped in gum, we burnt our ears, we risked our lives – but we got the money

This past weekend, I’d estimate raising nearly $1,250. And there’s still time to give. Visit www.firstgiving.com/alexschaddsford to donate online fast and securely.

Thanks to all who helped and all who contributed. It couldn’t be a success without all of you.

Anna makes a sale!

The stand itself.

This year’s stand was held in memory of Pat Brophy, my and Alex’s nurse.  Last year, we were named one of the top 100 stands in the country.

The Bolners stopped by for a visit!
