Hi friends, it’s me, Gracie! 👋 This week, I get to take over the account, and guess what? I’m dressed up as a spooky (but super stylish) vampire. Don’t worry, I don’t bite, unless it’s into a yummy cookie at my lemonade stand! 🦇🍪

Why Halloween is the Perfect Time for Big Ideas

Halloween is all about imagination. From fun costumes to spooky decorations, everyone gets to show off their creativity. And you know what? That’s just like running a lemonade stand. You get to decide the flavors, the signs, and the way you welcome customers. Business is really just another way to use your imagination.

When Things Get a Little Spooky…

Sometimes running a stand feels scary, kind of like walking through a haunted house. What if no one shows up? What if you make a mistake? Here’s the secret: being brave doesn’t mean you are never nervous. It means you keep going anyway.

Just like I learned at my lemonade stand, even when things feel spooky, you can still shine bright. ✨

Tricks and Treats of Business

Here’s what I’ve learned, and it works for Halloween and lemonade stands too:

• Trick: Sometimes things do not go as planned. Signs fall over or lemonade spills.
  
  
• Treat: Every mistake teaches you something new.
  
  
• Trick: Customers might walk by without stopping.
  
  
• Treat: The next one might become your biggest fan!
  
  

Let’s Celebrate Together

This Halloween, I am cheering for all the kids who are trying something new, whether it is a costume, a spooky science experiment, or even a first business idea. You are braver than you think, and you are learning lessons that last much longer than candy. 🍬

Now I have to go practice my vampire laugh… “Mwahaha!” 🦇 But before I go, I want to remind you:

📚 You can read all about my adventures, and my friends Manny, Kat, and Danny too, in the Lemonade Stand Kids books. Available now on Amazon or LemonadeStandKids.com.

Happy Halloween, friends! 🎃👻🍋
