Calendar: Celebrate community spirit with Lemonade Day … Return to ‘Cafe Du Monde’

When life gives you lemons: Raising Cane’s is participating with several other local businesses and nonprofits to bring to life National Lemonade Day on Saturday, May 7. Kids can register online to pick up a free backpack at a participating Cane’s—filled with items that will guide them through the process of setting up their own lemonade stand. Business planning, seeking investors, site selection, advertising, selling tips—it’s a great way to teach kids life skills. Visit lemonadeday.org for more information. Monde mode: Back in town from a national tour that included 34 performances in nine months, the food-story monologue show returns to a new home at Juban’s on April 27. Featuring storytellers Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne, Smiley Anders and Jeff Kleinpeter, among others, you’ll be entertained and excited by this totally unique show. And don’t miss the one-year anniversary show on May 12, featuring Mayor Kip Holden as well as returning headliners Chris Russo, Paul Arrigo, Scott Rogers and more.
