Kids Running a Ridge Acres Lemonade Stand

A cute scene on the corner of 45th Street and Johnson Avenue.

At the corner of 45th Avenue on Tuesday afternoon, seven Western Springs boys were running a lemonade stand, offering cups of either pink or yellow lemonade for 25¢.

The youngsters were Peter Mikulski, Charlie Austin, Joshua, Andrew and Jackson Fowler and George and Peter Marinis.

A few weeks back, in the thick of the heat wave, the kids raised $40 with a drive-through stand. Business was a bit slower Tuesday, but their spirits remained high.

They intend to either donate the money or use it for a trip to the Kohl Children's Museum in Glenview.
