Barnesville Mobile Market Temporarily Moves

The free food giveaway known as “Mobile Market” was staged from the Mother’s Club Shelter House at Memorial Park Friday morning instead of the regular location at the Barnesville Depot.  The market will operate from the park for the next nine months while the contractor and the Ohio Department of Transportation will use the depot and depot grounds as a construction staging site.  

Market organizers recommend participants “bring your own car or wagon” if possible.
