My Dad was from Blossburg and the Morris Run area in north central PA. One of 13 kids. Every Labor Day weekend was the Polish Picnic at the Catholic Hall. Great food and great fun. Bands played all day. Funerals and Weddings lasted 3 days. It was hard to tell them apart except for the dead guy or gal in the box. Grandpa died at 60 years old of black lung. I loved spending the Summers up on the farm. We'd worked the fields all day and we'd then take a 10 mile bike ride to go swimming and clean off in a very cold stream. What a life.
