NOXEN -- Hundreds slithered their way to Wyoming County this weekend to raise money for a volunteer fire department.

The annual Noxen Rattlesnake Roundup brings snake hunters to the community with the contestants hoping to capture the largest rattler in the region.

Organizers say the snakes are not harmed during the event. They're collected, measured and marked.

Then, the snakes are released into the area where they are found.

You can check out the rattlers that were rounded up until Sunday afternoon.

The round up is expected to wrap up with a fireworks display Sunday night around 9:30 in Wyoming County.
