Casually mention that you came here to be near FAMILY. If anyone asks- pick a commen last name from your moms side of family.

In general- small towns are quirky- so be discreet as to how candid you get with them.

CHURCH - is a good liner. "Our church is having a rummage sale".

Display no bumper stickers or emblems that paint you are an outsider.

"you'ens" , "daresant", "yepper" just became words. USE them!

"my family always knew I would come home"

always be polite and low keyed in public.

you will do fine!

WELCOME HOME cousin!!

What part of Central Pa are you from? You mention words that I'm not familiar with and I lived here for more than 50 years. Any way, Small towns in PA are a great place to riase a family. More recently (last 10 years) there has been an influx of innner center youths. Gangs and drugs are making there way in. Slowly but surely NE PA is becoming a suburb of NY / Phil.

If you want real small town, move to the mid west.
