Group spreads holiday spirit, gives away money at Christmas Town USA

MCADENVILLE, N.C. — There was a little extra magic Thursday night in Christmas Town USA. A cash mob surprised four people with more than $200 cash each.

A mother said she has seen the internet videos of cash mobs but was never expecting it in McAdenville.

“It was overwhelming,” Jamey Kitchin said. “I didn’t know to think, honestly. It’s a blessing, though.”
