One of the greatest joys that Payton`s Lemonade Stand brings us is seeing how it inspires others in the community to want to give back. As you`ll recall, Presley, Payton`s sister, and her friend Violet, felt inspired earlier this summer by a horse camp they attended. They returned from camp (their best week ever!) and wanted to give that experience to an underprivileged child, so they hosted a lemonade stand - something they know a thing or two about! ๐ In just a few hours, they raised $150!! And, Payton`s Lemonade Stand matched their donation, making it $300. ๐ โ

When Great Parks of Hamilton County caught wind of this donation they knew they wanted to do something special for Presley and Violet. And, boy did they ever! They invited them out this past weekend during their fall horse show and acknowledged them and their efforts in the middle of the ring to the crowd in attendance. But, it gets sweeter... They also went out of their way to surprise the girls with a visit with their riding horses from camp, Queso and Zacksby - so sweet! ๐ดโ

These girls didn`t do this for the recognition, as they were fine just dropping off a check, but the staff at Parkey`s Farm wouldn`t have it that way. They hadn`t gotten a donation like this before and wanted to be sure it got highlighted. We appreciate them so much for making these two girls feel so special. ๐ โ
