Watch for more Ada cash mobs. That’s the word from the Buy Ada First committee. After a first-ever try at a cash mob on Oct. 16 at Reichert’s, the committee hopes to do a new one each quarter.
Fred Reichert told the committee, which met on Oct. 24, that the cash mob at his Main Street store “exceeded his expectations.”
The committee hopes to hold a winter, spring summer and fall cash mob in 2013. Locations are now under consideration.
In addition to cash mobs, the committee hopes to schedule three Music on Main events next summer. One was held this past summer and was received with great success at the depot park.

Yesterday's home page photo showed the large plot of bee balm blooming in the depot park. We've moved in a bit closer and actually spied a bee in the balm. Take a look for yourself, but don't get stung.
