East Palestine, Ohio holds Spring Fling event to support local businesses post-derailment

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (WKBN) – The East Palestine community is still in recovery following the February train derailment.

The village Chamber of Commerce is supporting area businesses that took a hit. Now, they want you to spend the day supporting local businesses in a Spring Fling event.

The spring fling invites everyone to head to the village and visit plenty of locations.

The incentive? Tickets for prizes.
