I’ve seen a few lemonade stands in my time at the Pilot but as
elaborate as this one. The girls had a song and dance to with their
chants of “lemonade,” which had people lining up at one point just to
listen and grab a cup for a quarter. It was too cute.
The girls, Talia Prairie, Donnie Schroth, Reo Nathan, Charissa
Kroeger and Reann Nathan, were all friends from the neighborhood.
Some parents were nearby to make sure all worked out. While I was
there a Harley biker, a letter carrier, some construction workers of
various trades, and a few joggers stopped by for a cup.
I was on my way to the office when I saw the production at the
corner of 20th Street and Orange Avenue, a busy intersection at
mid-day. I had to get a shot. I told the parents who I was and they
were really happy for the girls that their effort might get in the
paper. The girls raised about $30 for themselves and their church.
I shot from across the street with 80-200 zoom lens and waited
until the girls got into a descent line while ignoring the camera.
It happened in only one frame and that’s all you need.
