You Might Be From The Susquehanna Valley If...

Growing up here in the Susquehanna Valley, there are so many things we take for granted.  Plenty of Farmers Markets, Loads of History,  A Festival For Everything (we even have festivals for the first and last Fridays of the month) and plenty of places to bike, hike, and kayak.   We have dozens of thrift stores, SO many waterfalls, and  charming covered bridges and one room school houses. 

But that's not all.  We have a lot of unique, weird, and interesting traditions, events, and spots, that most locals have visited or done at least once.
