Small Town Treasure: Hollerin' Festival
Sometimes, people do things that don't make sense, but that doesn't mean they're wrong to do them. Take the folks in the tiny town of Spivey's Corner, North Carolina for instance. Every year, they host the Hollerin' Festival, in which participants compete in.... well, hollerin'. There are several different contests you could enter if you're lucky enough to make it to the festival. They have contests for juniors, women, and men alike. Whoever can produce the loudest, most distinct holler gains the title of Spivey Corner Hollerer!
It may be tempting for some to dismiss the festival as mindless small town folks screamin and shoutin. But the festival attracts international attention and is fun for all those involved. The lesson we can take away from this small town treasure is to sit back and realize that not everything has to make sense; you don't have to have a reason for everything. Sometimes it's good to just let loose and do some hollerin' for no reason, simply because you can. Why, you ask? ...Why not?
