Being the official Yankee Homecoming Town Crier comes with some special privileges and responsibilities:

• The Town Crier may select any band marching in the parade to accompany him/her
• The Town Crier and family/friends will be escorted to the reviewing stand to watch the parade.
• The Town Crier will be the official judge of the parade floats.
• The Town Crier will have his/her picture in the newspaper
• The Town Crier will be given a commemorative bell for this historic occasion.

So as you can see, with so many privileges and responsibilities of the Town Crier, this vote is crucial!
