(link to story)

“With participants travelling from America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as well as many other European countries this is truly an international event which can only be good for the reputation of our great city. It will bring in thousands of visitors to the city providing a massive boost to our local economy.”

-Councillor Richard Short,
Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Executive Member for Culture and Recreation

Forty town criers from around the world were selected to compete in the 2010 World Town Crier Tournament in Chester, England. (Read Squire Frederick's Acceptance Letter.) Squire Frederick was one of them.

The Squire traveled across the pond in June to participate in his first international town crier competition. See photos and videos from the event. You can also visit the tournament website and the Chester Festivals site.
