Today was a Lemonade Day in our small city.Our Chamber of Commerce has a special promotion that whenever the temperature reaches 90 or above free lemonade is served the next business day.This promotion has been going on since the 1930's.
We are in the mountains of southern West Virginia where we experience mild summers compared to other areas.We have had a rather warm summer as most of the country has also experienced.We have had many days near 90 but haven't had very many days at 90 or above.
Some of the days near 90 have felt warmer due to the high humidity.Last Friday it went up to 91.At a local bank I saw of reading of 108 on Friday.
Since the promotion began in the 1930's free lemonade has been given out 201 times.That's not too bad for 70 years!There have been some cooler summers where we haven't reached 90 or above so free lemonade wasn't served.

We have had a very hot summer. Maybe I need to get a cabin in the mountains of WV and stay there in the summer months!
