    For nearly half a century, Spivey’s Corner, North Carolina, has made a name for itself as the epicenter of good ol’ time hollerin’. But what exactly does hollerin’ entail? Well, before cell phones, cars or electricity, farmers had to rely on the strength of their voices to carry messages across the countryside. Today, the hollerin’ heritage is kept alive and booming, all thanks to folks like Sheila, Robby, Tony and other winners of Spivey’s National Hollerin’ Contest.
