Get free shuttle service between 2 big events this weekend
(WKBN) – Two local cities are teaming up to make it easier and cheaper for residents to enjoy a night out.
Salem and Columbiana are touting a partnership, offering free transportation between two big events this weekend.
More: Valley summer events
The Salem Super Cruise and Columbiana Wine Festival will be connected by the Quakertown Trolley. The trolley will run between 4 and 9 p.m., with the last departing trip from Salem to Columbiana at 9.
Organizers say they hope the service reduces traffic and parking headaches, and encourages more people to experience what both towns have to offer.
'We know that we're only eight miles apart, so we share in our various activities that go in both communities. The trolley is an opportunity for us to allow people from Columbiana to go to Salem, and bring people from Salem to Columbiana,' said Columbiana Mayor Rick Noel.
To sweeten the deal even more, Wine Festival admission will be discounted to $30 for trolley riders.

Afghans in Northern Virginia react to first day of travel ban
ALEXANDRIA, Va. () — Monday marks the first day of President Donald Trump's latest travel ban, which includes mostly African and Middle Eastern countries. Over the past few years, thousands of Afghan refugees have come to the D.C. area. Afghanistan is now on that travel ban list. Can you still visit the countries listed under Trump's travel ban? At the Afghan Market in Alexandria, people who spoke with DC News Now discussed a level of disappointment at the ban. 'We are disappointed about the travel ban, especially for those Afghan allies that they left behind,' said Farid Younsei, who lives in Virginia. Younsei said many in the Afghan community in Northern Virginia came to the U.S. during mass evacuations once the Taliban took over, but not all of their family members joined them. 'Most of them are in neighboring countries, like in Pakistan, and in Qatar, and in United Arab Emirates,' he said. Those family members left behind are the people on the minds of those who spoke about the travel ban. 'I kinda worry about them because one day, or maybe another day, they're going to figure it out about them — that they used to work with the embassy, or used to work with the government. And your life would be in danger. 100%,' Fertaos Bakhshi, of Alexandria, said. Trump's rationale for the travel ban is public safety. 'We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm,' the president said in a video on social media. International students confused, anxious about their futures under second Trump term At the market in Alexandria, there's a feeling that the ban can harm those looking for a better and safer life. 'If you compare Afghanistan to United States, it means like you compare hell to paradise,' Bakhshi said. 'The bad and good, now the immigrants, they're getting mixed with each other. So it's kind of difficult to separate them.' The leader of a local organization supporting newly arriving Afghan refugees tells DC News Now it's important to note that the U.S. government is continuing to issue special immigrant visas and is allowing the recipients of the SIVs and their families to travel. However, they also expressed that one of the most significant concerns is that it takes away some of the different tools to help reunite families who have been separated during the initial evacuation, or later due to the visa process.
