They are Minnesota's kid entrepreneurs, and they're changing the business game one lemonade stand at a time. Meet Benny the Raccoon, Minnesota’s talented, business-savvy mascot. Benny doesn't just dig through trash cans - oh, no, no! He's too busy digging through piles of creative business ideas! Benny’s got a head for numbers, a nose for opportunity, and a tail...well, that's just for looks and balance, but it sure does make him look dashing! Just like Benny, Minnesota's child entrepreneurs are a breed apart. Ventures? They've got 'em by the boatload. Creativity? As abundant as the state’s 10,000 lakes. Courage?
