Have you ever heard of a flash mob?

About Flash mobs…A Flash Mob is a large group of people who gather at a public location to perform a pre-defined action, typically a brief dance, and disperse rapidly after the event has concluded. Flash Mobs are an internet phenomenon of the 21st century. Although Flash Mobs don’t happen online, they are organized using social media, viral ema...ils, or websites in general.

The phenomenon has since spread across the globe and Flash Mobs are open to anyone to join.

Well we are gathering people to have some fun on Friday at 5:30pm in-front of the Museum! We would love you to join us! Come be a part of the crowd!
