From Yelm Online:
The purpose of the flash mob is to let people know how easy CPR is to do. Hambly said the participants will come out of a crowd at the mall, have a collection point to pick up their manikins, and then walk around for awhile.
At 1 p.m. “Stayin’ Alive” will start, “which is the correct beat for how fast you do the chest compressions,” Hambly said. “Then somebody from the crowd will put down a manikin and start doing CPR, and pretty soon you’ll have maybe like 45 manikins with people doing CPR, so it should be pretty fun.”
The performance will last about 4 minutes, 30 seconds — i.e. the length of the song. This is the first time Thurston County’s fire departments have joined forces to do a flash mob for CPR awareness.
