Wondering what to do before heading out for dinner?  Join kctrumpet in old town Yuma for this fun flash mob event.  Bring some "lettuce" (money) to wave as you follow a conga line around a traffic circle.  When the mob disperses, you can donate that money to a local charity, buy something to eat, or put some more gas in your geo-mobile (you'll need it).  See Friday's schedule of activities for details.
