Miami Township, Ohio – Squire William Knepp, Miami Township’s Town Crier, is stepping down soon from the position he created several years ago. Mr. Knepp hopes that a resident of Miami Township, “who has a large amount of civic pride, is a believer in the Constitution, and possesses a loud voice and charming presence” would be interested and committed in carrying on the tradition of a Town Crier.
This is a voluntary, unpaid position that includes duties of participating in local parades and attending functions such as grand openings.
Current Town Crier Knepp would provide some training and resources to obtain a town crier uniform and bell and would also provide the selected person with an initial membership in the
American Guild of Town Criers.
Additional information can be found on their website at AmericanTownCriers.com.
