Flash Mob Strikes Crazy Daze

Cast members of the Northfield Arts Guild's production of "The Music Man" break out in dance and song in downtown Northfield on Thursday.

What’s a better way to promote a musical set in early 20th-century Iowa than with a modern flash mob?

Precisely at noon Thursday, cast members of the Northfield Arts Guild’s production of “The Music Man” broke out in dance and song in front of the Northfield Historical Society.

Division Street was closed for Crazy Daze.
