Tween Town Crier Honored by BOE

Joey Rihl gets a shout out at Haddonfield school board meeting.

Joey Rihl wowed judges at the historic Indian King Tavern recently during tryouts for a new town crier. The 10-year-old sat among older, more seasoned criers during tryouts and forced judges to rethink how they wanted to shape this volunteer position to highlight a borough historic treasure.

Thursday, he was honored by his Central school Principal Shannon Simkus and schools Superintendent Richard Perry during a school board meeting.
