Brand Spotlight: Hillbilly Proud

A multi-media company based in the mountains of beautiful West Virginia, Hillbilly Proud is a family of coal miners and steel workers who are very proud of their heritage.  They first began shooting their family-friendly videos of off-road motor sports and then branched out to making videos that also focus on the scenery, heritage, and culture of their beautiful state.  Whenever possible, their footage is accompanied by some of the best local musicians ranging from rock to bluegrass. 

For nearly 10 years, Hillbilly Proud has also offered an awesome line of merchandise that represents the hillbilly culture that surrounds them! Their ever-growing line of clothing began with a single shirt and has grown into a line of several shirts for men, women, and children as well as sweatshirts, tank tops, hats, and stickers and decals.  All of their merchandise features their popular trademarked name and logo with all screen-printing done in Morgantown, WV.

The thing that makes this company so unique is that they utilize a bartering system to get the most out of the events that they are asked to film. When they are asked to film an event, they do not charge promoters a single cent to do so; instead they request a vending booth.  Simply by selling their own merchandise they are able to maintain a self-sufficient small business.

Hillbilly Proud also hosts the West Virginia Day Festival at the Holly Gray Park in Sutton, WV.  This event celebrates West Virginia with music, motor sports, and of course… mountains! This fun filled weekend has something for every “hillbilly,” from great local music to a car show and mud bog! Of course, there are also many games, activities, and giveaways.  Admission is affordable for the family with discounted weekend passes and free for kids under 12 years of age.
