Being the Home of the PA Grand Canyon, it is prime Rattlesnake country. People actually go hunting the snakes for the Morris Competition, but they catch them safely & return them to their habitat after the scores are in.
Morris PA is only 12 miles from Wellsboro, so one could visit the event & the PA Grand Canyon in one full & exciting day!(a.k.a. PA Gorge)
Mary Smith sells Handmade Pillowcases with embroidered words & sayings on them, at the Morris Snake Hunt Flea Markets
This was the schedule for 2010...but stays the same each year.
