A press release from PennDOT indicated that road repairs continue along Spring Hill Road in Tuscarora Township, Bradford County, and Second Street in Laceyville, Wyoming County.
PennDOT reported Thursday that road sections would be closed following a mineral oil spill for about a mile along the center lane of traffic. The mineral oil was being transported on a truck, and was intended for a local gas well owned by Chesapeake Energy. Mineral oil is used as part of the well drilling process.

4H teens organized the event, she said, which included events throughout the day Friday, including a fair-wide scavenger hunt, a hay bale throwing contest, three-legged race, pie-eating contest and even bowling -- with manure (using shovels, of course).
