Piggy Bank Award: For the young entrepreneurs

We award piggy banks to two young ladies who started their own small business and remain positive even during the recession.

Tess Vigeland: But wait, before we leave the lemonade stand for good, let’s get to this week’s Marketplace Money Piggy Award.

Our little blue plastic friend is heading to… Where else? Ann Arbor. ‘Cause when your lemonade business has that kind of swaggah, you need an appropriate cash container. So Molly, Lucy, you each have a piggy coming to you. I suggest you start saving up for the MBAs you will no doubt be pursuing.

And just a reminder to the rest of you who covet our blue plastic friend, there is a random number up on the chalkboard wall in my office. When we hit that number of likes on the Marketplace Money Facebook page that person gets a pig. You know you want one.
