ST. PETERSBURG — Sen. Barack Obama will hold a town hall-style meeting on the economy Friday at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg.

The visit to Pinellas County comes as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is ramping up what could be the largest voter mobilization campaign Florida has seen from a Democrat, including opening a sprawling campaign office in St. Petersburg on Wednesday and in Clearwater on Tuesday.

Doors open at 8:30 a.m. Friday for the event at Gibbs High School, 850 34th St. S. Admission is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.

Tickets will be available first-come, first-served from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the St. Petersburg campaign office, 2321 Central Ave. Adults will be allotted a maximum of two tickets each and children younger than 16 will be allotted one.
