GRANITE QUARRY — Sometimes, the only way to learn the value of a dollar is to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

That’s what several young girls in Granite Quarry were doing on Thursday. Despite the hot weather, they were outside selling lemonade. In all likelihood, the warm temperatures probably created a little demand for their cool, refreshing offerings.

The young entrepreneurs included Brexley Morgan, Taylyn Morgan, Emory Loflin, Lynna Morgan and Farrah Deal.

Taylyn and Emory shared a little bit of the work that went on behind the scenes, which made their lemonade stand a possibility, and talked a little bit about how the idea first came to be.

“Emory thought about it the other day,” Taylyn said. “We got some supplies. Earlier today, we made some lemonade and mixed it with flavor packets.”

Taylyn and Emory are both rising fifth graders. Emory goes to school at Faith Academy. Meanwhile, Taylyn goes to school in Concord.

“We have regular lemonade, pink lemonade and we also had watermelon and pineapple, but we ran out of those because a lot of people like them,” Emory said.

Another lemonade flavor caught visitors’ eyes. Emory had an idea to make blue lemonade.

“It’s called dolphin,” Taylyn said. “It has like a mermaid squirt with ocean water, so it is coconutty.”

The young business girls didn’t pigeonhole themselves just to lemonade, though. Once they drew in customers with the promise of a refreshing beverage, they had a variety of trinkets and other goodies for sale, too.

“I also made bracelets,” Taylyn said. “They are like loom bracelets, colored rubber bands, and they are fishtails.”

Brexley also made bracelets, and Emory made potions.

“Basically, it’s glass bottles with glitter, glue and water,” Emory said. “You shake it up, and you glue it shut.”

But that was not all.

“We got some sports water bottles,” Taylyn said. “We decorated some, we are selling them and also some stickers. Those are different, some have words and others are just things.”

Taylyn estimated that they had made a pretty penny so far.

“We made at least $50 because people keep giving us tips,” Taylyn said.

As for what to do with the money, Taylyn and Emory both agreed they would split it up evenly. They also talked about buying school supplies for other children who might be in need.

The girls are friends and family and, as of Thursday, business partners.
