Homeschooled twins run "Best Lemonade Stand In America": Gunnar and Hunter Greer of Ocean Isle Beach won $1000 and a Nintendo DS in the contest sponsored by Inc.com magazine. The project started with a business plan and several investors, and earned nearly $1000 in sales besides the contest prize:

The Inc.com editors, who picked the winner from at least a hundred entries from across the country, were impressed that the twins took the lemonade stand seriously, "not just something to do on a lazy summer afternoon," said Ron Kurtz, the senior editor at Inc.com who was part of the panel that selected the winner.

"They sort of captured the essence of why we started this contest in the first place," Kurtz said.
