'Terminator 2' Star Visits Popular South Dakota Lemonade Stand

Do you remember a little South Dakota lemonade stand from a then 8-year-old Wyatt Dennis? This lemonade stand gained national attention primarily because Wyatt was only accepting free-will donations. He started the lemonade stand to save money for college, the St. Jude's Children Hospital, and in hopes of buying his very own dirt bike.

Wyatt's Lemonade is now a major highlight for riders at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Even some surprise celebrities have been known to enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade.

What Is Wyatt's Lemonade All About?

At the time, Wyatt Dennis was only 8-years-old when he started Wyatt's Lemonade. Since the lemonade stand started in 2020, Wyatt has raised over $119,000 for various charities. This year alone, Wyatt's Lemonade had visitors from all 50 states and 13 countries, used 116 pounds of lemonade mix, poured 205 gallons of lemonade, and was open for 129 hours during the rally. This is all because one kid wanted to make a little money while making a difference. This year, Wyatt was raising money for A Bridge Between Us, Make-A-Wish, and Piedmont Fire Department.

Wyatt did have some special guests stop by his stand including internet star Justin "Danger" Nunley.

Justin wasn't the only visitor..."The Terminator" himself even made a surprise appearance. Well, one of the "Terminators" did: Robert Patrick

Robert Patrick was nice enough to stop for a cool glass of lemonade and meet the kid behind the lemonade. According to the Facebook post, Wyatt and Robert have been in contact with each other since 2022.

Who would have thought lemonade would bring so many people together! So sweet!
