Lemon Event

Contestants Pick Lemons for the Competition

The First one to Eat Three Wins $100

Rind is Optional

I wore an Emperor's Costume to be a little goofy 

It was time to eat when the gong rang

I'd eat lemons during family events as a "party trick" 

I'd always try to make others smile

The lemon eating competition represents the chinese saying of 吃苦 (eating bitterness) which represents the labor of immigrants

Peels fell to the floor in incredible speeds

People were on their third lemon before a minute passed

The winner of the event got to ring the gong

Untaxable; many immigrants work hard under the table in poor condition

I kneel down in honor of the hard-earned cash that my Great Great Grandfather Died for

Costume Change!

I Am No King!

Whats more American than Baseball?

Jackie Robinson Wore the Number 42

I wear this in his tradition of him for his hard work was a sigil for progress

I split this lemon in half and ate it as a testament to how it this is nothing compared to what Robinson or my Great Great Grandfather went through

Both entertainment and a message

Immigrants don't have second or third chances 

This is a one strike game

OUT OF THE PARK!

Not everybody gets the same pitcher in life

He wasn't the most accurate, but had incredible spirit

SHE HIT IT WOAH!

Whats more American than a Lemonade Stand?

My parents run a buffet

I'm used to serving and serving food

This is the silent type of labor that people don't notice often

I made Pink Lemonade with Pomegranate Molasses

I Made this Lemonade Stand in Real Time

Simple, but it was through my labor that something was made

Squeeze!

I handed out lemons at the end

When Life Gives You Lemons...
