Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce wants get you out of the house to do some shopping locally - on Wednesday.
Focusing on the hours of 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., perhaps the warmest part of the day, Bluffton holds its first-ever "cash mob." Although it's not a cash mob in the traditional big city sense, it will offers an interesting assortment of specials in several downtown businesses. It is the chamber's plan to offer one cash mob per month in 2014.

“It’s only one hit away, one drink away, to end up at the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said during a Bluffton chapel service.
