BE YOUR TOWN’S CRIER!
Have an opinion on why others should or should not move or visit the place you live? Why not share it?
In medieval England and Europe, town criers were used to communicate newsworthy events. Traditionally dressed in a red and gold jacket with a black tricorne hat, the town crier would ring a handbell and call out to the townspeople “Hear ye! Hear ye!” to get the people’s attention. The town crier would read an official proclamation and then nail it to the doorpost of a local inn. The tradition became known as “posting a notice.”
