Cash mob brings out hundreds of buyers

Apparently that cash-mob thing county Mayor Tim Buchett concocted over late night television not too long ago turned out to be quite the success.

According to Big “Michael Grider” Sexy, somewhere between 700 and 800 people participated in the event Friday at Emery's 5 & 10 on Chapman Highway, and the store reported more than 520 sales that day and evening. On Saturday, sales were around 120.

BS says there will be more of these events and “details will be released in the next few weeks.”
