Meadow Mae Hakongak Evans sells lemonade and homemade cookies in front of her home in Cambridge Bay on July 26. The five-year-old entrepreneur is saving up money for her family’s trip to Disneyland in California in October. All told, she earned about $200 for her efforts, all of which went to her Disney trip saving box, said her aunt, Nuka Olsen-Hakongak, who helped with the sale. Olsen-Hakongak said her niece will start kindergarten in the fall, and with all the positive feedback about her lemonade Meadow Mae might have another sale before that.
