Giving back was just as important as selling lemonade for the young entrepreneurs behind Country Sippin’ Lemonade. From left to right: Sawyer Perry, Cooper Loroff, and Nash Perry present a cheque to Denise McIntyre of the Slave Lake Animal Shelter after donating a portion of the proceeds from their Lemonade Day stand, held June 13. The trio’s successful business venture earned them the 2026 Youth Entrepreneur of the Year award, proving that a simple glass of lemonade can make a meaningful difference in the community.
