Abstract:
Many North Carolinians love to compete in unusual contests. Two of the state's best-known ones are the National Hollerin' Convention in Spivey's Corner and the International Whistlers Convention in Louisburg. Tomlin describes some of North Carolina's lesser known, but still entertaining, unusual competitions. These include the Turkey Olympics in Raeford, Great Cardboard Box Derby at Beech Mountain, and collard-eating contest at Ayden's annual Collard festival.
