A group of kids from Midale spent their Tuesday selling lemonade for a good cause. Sutter Hoium alongside Korbin and Jace Martinson, Reed and Kane Vandenhurk, James Banman, and Charles Gill raised $869 for the activity department at the Mainprize manor. The funds will provide activities like bingo and crafts for the residents.  

The stand ran from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and sold lemonade, freezies, hot dogs and hamburgers. Sutter’s dad, Kyle Hoium, worked at the grill while the kids helped the customers.
