Young Entrepreneur Sicily Raises Record Funds for Denton County Firefighters with "Positively Lemons" Lemonade StandSource: Denton County Emergency Services District #1

Last weekend, young entrepreneur Sicily set a new record with her 4th Annual “Positively Lemons” Lemonade Stand, raising funds to support Denton County Emergency Services District #1 firefighters, an event marked not only by the pursuit of philanthropy but by a zestful collaboration with CRAVE Cookie Co. Sicily's stand, located at 1105 6th St in Harvest, opened its makeshift doors from 1-4 pm to crowds eager to indulge in citrus refreshments for a cause.

This year, Sicily's ambition soared to a new height with a goal of $1,000, following her impressive track record of doubling donations year on year – from $200 in 2021 to $850 in 2023, and as per the details on the Denton County Emergency Services District #1's Facebook page, the community's support was not waning. The initiative was more than a simple lemonade stand; it was a heartfelt venture supporting the brave souls who ensure safety at Station 514 in Harvest, and the generous spirit of this young girl amplified by the undeniable deliciousness of CRAVE's cookies created a blend that the citizens of Argyle, Northlake, and Justin found irresistible.

Argyle Professional Fire Fighters Local 5190, along with the Towns of Northlake and Argyle, as well as the Argyle Police Department and the Justin Fire Dept., have expressed their gratitude, noting the significance of what may seem as a small gesture in the light of day's high noon yet creates waves that ripple through the tapestry of a tight-knit community. Such actions provide not just water and supplies but also a certain morale boost, a reminder that their service is seen, felt, and appreciated.
