Today is…International Town Criers Day
#InternationalTownCriersDay
#TownCriersDay
In the late 1990s, Scott Fraser of Waterloo, Ontario, was glancing through Chase’s Book of Days (officially now Chase’s Calendar of Events) at a library in Woodstock, Ontario. He noticed there wasn’t a day about town criers€”a position he had held in various Ontario towns since the mid-1980s. He submitted an application to Chase, hoping they would add a day in their book. They honored his request, and the first International Town Criers Day was celebrated in 1997.
