Well it is Fair time again. You do know what that means? That is right it is Lemon Shake Up time for Gateway Services, Inc. For those of you who are new to Gateway let me fill you in on a few things. 1. Gateway has done the Lemon Shake Up Stand at the Johnson County Fair since 1972 which makes this our 46th year. 2. We squeeze 80 cases of lemons, that's over 13,000 lemons for you novices in only one day. Usually takes us less than 8 hours from start to finish including clean up. . We use over 850 pounds of sugar and over 280 bags of ice last year in order to make the BEST Lemon Shake Ups on the Johnson County Fair Grounds. 4. We need over 200 volunteers to make this fundraiser a success. With that being said we need volunteers on Thursday, July 12 starting at 7:30 until finished. We do not expect anyone to stay the whole time but any time you can would be much appreciated. We also have 7 shifts available the week of the Fair July 15-21. If you have a group of 8-10 people that you would like to have fun while giving back to a local not for profit then please contact Becky Allen at becky.allen@gatewayarc.com. All ages are welcome! We are truly excited in seeing you all out at the Johnson County Fair.  Two!
