DWNTWN Muncie ARTSWALK Flash Mob!

This description below was the facebook invitation to participate in the flashmob you see here! Despite freezing weather and crazy wind, nearly 400 people showed up to "show out"! We couldn't be prouder of you Muncie! We came together, people of all ages, backgrounds and talents to celebrate Muncie's 150th Birthday. We are submitting this video to The Ellen Show in response to the"Give Me Five" dance challenge put forth by Michelle Obama earlier in the year on the show. How could you not LOVE this!
