A “cash mob” is coming to Ada in April.
The Buy Ada First Committee, an ad hoc group consisting of local business people and residents, will hold the community’s third cash mob on Tuesday, April 23, from 2 to 5:30 p.m. The location, which is a prominent business in Ada, will be revealed soon.
“Each cash mob has been a great success and it brings business to our Ada community,” said Heather Cox, of the committee.
“All you need to do is show up, make a purchase large or small and celebrate the Ada community. Join in the fun and give a local business a boost,” said Cox.
Cash mobs encourage members of the community to support a local business by creating an immediate economic stimulus. It also creates a way to unify people in a community and the Buy Ada First Committee hopes to continue this project by holding more cash mobs in Ada during 2013.
“If you have a Facebook or Twitter account, we really encourage you to use it to spread the word to your friends and family,” mentioned Cox.
Besides the continuation of the Cash Mob, the Buy Ada First has other events planned this year, including:
• Expansion of “Music On Main” this summer
(Tentative “Music on Main” dates are the Friday evenings of June 14, July 12 and Aug. 9.)
• A soup cook-off this fall.
The committee meets monthly. The next meeting is at 8 a.m., Wednesday, May 1, at Northern On Main, 534 S. Main St., Ada.
