5 Things: Cash Mob, DJs and Hoops

Five things to know in SK on Monday, Jan. 30, 2012:

1. Spend, Spend, Spend. South Kingstown's first cash mob to help support local small businesses takes to stores this afternoon on Main Street.

Waves of Creation owner Laura Winward organized the assemblage after reading a New York Times article about the mobs of shoppers that rush in on unexpectant local businesses and spend, spend, spend. 

Participants should meet at 3 p.m. in the parking lot across the street from , 271 Main St., Wakefield. From there, Winward will announce the name of the business to be mobbed and cash mobbers will walk as a group to the shop and spend some money.
