The Buy Ada First Committee will hold the next cash mob on Tuesday, April 8, from 3 to 5 p.m. The location will be revealed soon.

A cash mob is like a flash mob, but instead of singing or dancing, cash mobbers join together to support their local economy by visiting and making purchases at a selected local business.

“Participation is easy, tell your friends, show up, make a purchase large or small and celebrate your local community. Join in the fun and give a local business a boost,” said Heather Cox, of the committee.
