Cash Mob Day

Saturday, May 19, 2012 - 4:00pm
PLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT. SHOW YOUR COMMUNITY SOLIDARITY. The general idea is to encourage people to go into small, local businesses and spend their money, en masse, to give the business owner a little bit of economic stimulus. We'd help businesses grow, we'd make people happy, we'd get stuff for ourselves, have a great time, and maybe we'd get a drink to celebrate afterward.
