Western Maine Cash Mob Hits Norway Farmer's Market

SOUTH PARIS, Maine - Oct. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Norway, Maine – Thursday, September 26, 2013 Western Maine Cash Mob, organized by W.J. Wheeler Insurance Agency, met at the Norway Municipal Parking Lot.  A total of 72 people anxiously waited to hear where they would be shopping.  Armed with their $20 bills everyone mobbed the Norway Farmer’s Market.

The mobbers spent a total of $1151.72 in less than an hour, helping stimulate the local economy while having a blast with other community members.  Not only does the Cash Mob help the business being mobbed that one time but it also introduces new people that may have never gone to the market before and will hopefully return again.

“Following the mob, Mobbers enjoyed a delicious spread thanks to The Oxford Federal Credit Union. Refreshments included plenty of veggie appetizers. All of the food was purchased from local farmers and stores, including Fare Share Co-op, Crestholm Farm, LolliPapa, Moose Pond Arts, and many others,” says Karley Estes, Marketing Specialist at W.J. Wheeler Insurance Agency.  “A lovely ending to a lovely night!”

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Western Maine Cash Mob such a hit:  W.J. Wheeler Insurance Agency, Oxford Federal Credit Union, Advertiser Democrat and all of the vendors at the Norway Farmer’s Market.  Also, thank you to our season sponsors who helped provide the free reusable shopping bag to all of the mobbers, Café Nomad, Hannaford, Maine C&C Farm, Market Square Restaurant, Casco Candles, Bessey Motors, H&R Block in South Paris, Carter’s X-C Ski and Pleasant Hill Property Services.  This time the free tote included freebies, coupons and more from our sponsors!
