Lomita Winners Announced at Lemonade Day National Conference

After the successful Lemonade Day Lomita during the summer, our community has even more to celebrate as it recently received two awards from Lemonade Day National at the conference in Houston. 

Represented by Lomita Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Heidi Butzine, it was announced that Lomita's local youth entrepreneur of the year, Pearl DiMassa, owner of  Lucky Lemonade Co. also won 1st Runner Up for 2022 National Youth Entrepreneur of the Year! Clearly Lomita has quite a few motivated and talented youth entrepreneurs as last year's local entrepreneur Brianna Garcia of Bri's Frozen Lemonades won the national title for Youth Entrepreneur of the Year - the year the event was launched. 

Lomita also won the award this year for the Small City Most Business Results. To read more, click here.
