When 7-year-old Annalyse Baird of Demorest decided to set up a lemonade stand to make money for her summer vacation, her parents Kassy and Corey weren’t expecting much. A few dollars here and there maybe but, says Annalyse’s grandmother Kathy Spivey, they “didn’t think it would be a big success.”
But it was!
“She was so overwhelmed with excitement she kept on saying ‘Oh my goodness, the police is here wanting some of my lemonade and cookies.’ That really did make her day.”
The Torch Christian Academy student earned $62 in just four hours. Her doting grandma chalks it up to Annalyse’s “outgoing personality and beautiful smile.” Perhaps that’s what drew in a group of Habersham County deputies who showed up to lend their support.
“She was so overwhelmed with excitement she kept on saying ‘Oh my goodness, the police is here wanting some of my lemonade and cookies.’ That really did make her day,” Spivey says.
It made an impact on her grandmother, too. Spivey shared the tale of the encounter along with some photos on Facebook. She says it just goes to show “we have some really good guys and ladies” serving in local law enforcement.
Seems lemonade and the law make a pretty good mix.
