In this year of compromise, COVID-19 has presented opportunities to reflect and see the world through different lenses. Locally, Barnesville residents and visitors are greeted by the beauty of the downtown business district punctuated by beautiful blooming flowers.
This annual community project of the Barnesville Chamber of Commerce consists of 50 hanging baskets adorning decorative streetlights and six concrete ground planters.
The most recent chamber newsletter reports the flower arrangements were designed by Fruits of Life nursery. Village Hardware and Rental provided the lift while village employees – Jason Martin, Chase Thompson, Dylan Bostaph, Jay McEndree, Harold Sturgeon, Al Neiswonger and Tyler Lake – were joined by downtown building owner Travis Kaiser, to place the baskets.
