Please join us Monday for our Cash Mob at 11:30 a.m. at Hobby Lobby. This is a project of Shop Ponca First. We gather at 11:25 a.m. then go in as a group at 11:30 a.m. Cash Mob recognizes the outstanding businesses we have in Ponca City. The names of all Chamber retail businesses are in a fish bowl and once a month we draw out our next cash mob business visit. Please join us.
