A “cash mob” is coming to Ada in August.

The Buy Ada First Committee will hold the next cash mob on Thursday, Aug. 28, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Ada Flea Market on Main Street.

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.
