We did a brief story about a young Hoosier Friday evening, August 15th, that inspired me so much I decided to blog about him.  First, though, a little background.

You may know that the RTV 6 FAN CLUB distributes hundreds of fans throughout Central Indiana during the summer.  We should never take air condtioning for granted because there are thousands of Hoosiers who suffer in the heat and humidity every year.  One person who is evidently very aware of this fact is 7 year old Jackson Truitt.

Jackson could have spent the last days of summer vacation squeezing out all the fun that time would permit.  But instead, this first grader was squeezing lemons.  He set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the RTV FAN CLUB.  He did a great job, too.  He raised more than two hundred dollars… enough money to buy 17 fans for families in need.  Quite an accomplishment for any age, especially for a seven year old.

Now that’s pretty cool!!!
