    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.
