This Saturday, Soldotna is bringing back Lemonade Day, an annual event aimed at teaching kids the value of entrepreneurship.

For the 10th year, kids will have the opportunity to set up lemonade stands and sell their product in front of local Soldotna and Kenai businesses.

The goal is for the children to learn entrepreneurial basics, which include becoming business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers and forward-thinking citizens.
