In this North Carolina town, the hills are alive with the sound of hollerin'

In the American South, in the tiny town of Spivey's Corner, North Carolina, the hills are alive with sound of some good ol' timey hollerin'. And, yes, that's "hollerin'" without the "g," mind you. For nearly 50 years, the town was home to the National Hollerin' Contest, celebrating a tradition that dates back centuries. But what started off as a small fundraiser, turned into a long-lasting phenomenon, attracting media attention from across the country, and around the world.
