The stand also serves as a great bonding and leadership opportunity for the girls, Schilling said.

“Our group of girls really like being together and doing things, so us getting to come out here and do a little bonding does help in the summer,” she said. “We’re just kind of getting into our practices and things like that, so it’s a really great opportunity for them. we also like that it gets them out in the community.”

The stand is open till 10 p.m. on Monday and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the Fourth of July.
