Ready for $20 on the 20th?

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

How will you spend your $20 on Monday?

Along with several area partners, the Yuma Sun is sponsoring the 20 on the 20th campaign. The campaign encourages Yuma County residents to spend $20 on local goods and services on July 20 to help jump-start the local economy.

If all the residents in Yuma County participate, their efforts could inject $3.8 million into the local economy.

The Yuma Sun asked several Yumans how they plan to spend it.

Here's what some residents had to say:

Sherry Christian, of Yuma

Would buy: two books by author Mary Baxter: A Divine Revelation of the Spiritual Realm and A Divine Revelation of Angels

At: a book store

A good read: Sherry enjoys reading the testimonials Baxter writes, and she has had her eye on the two books.

David Hardy, of Yuma

Would buy: $20 worth of golf balls

At: The Sports Authority

Fore: David is going to play nine holes of golf with his new purchase, but the balls should last him about a month, he said.

Nancy Obinna, of Yuma

Would buy: a book in the J.R. Ward series The Black Dagger Brotherhood, and a shrimp pasta with a salad

At: a book store and Red Lobster

A story to die for: Nancy would also love to see the books turned into a series on HBO.

Doug Seich, of Yuma

Would buy: $20 worth of books

At: a bookstore

Anything in particular?: Nothing in mind right now, but Doug will have until Monday to think about what his next read will be.

David St. Ong, of Yuma

Would buy: $20 worth of worms for bass fishing

At: Sportsmen's Hide-A-Way

Gone fishing: David said how long the worms last depends on how the fish are biting. "If they don't work, it will last me a few years," he said.

Nicole Squires
, of Yuma

Would buy: $20 on home furnishings and other items

At: Twigs

Shop till you drop: Nicole said she'd love to spend $20 in Twigs. "It's fun to just go in there and shop," she said.
