Free Lemonade And Smiles

Spokane boys RJ and Hunter are mixing up lemonade and flashing their best smiles to raise money for the Minot, North Dakota flood victims.

Their family has been glued to the coverage since the flooding began because their mom is from North Dakota and their uncle and grandpa still live there.
