Evansburg Alberta elects a Town Grouch every year

Evansburg Alberta elects a 'Town Grouch' each year

Evansburg, Alberta - As you drive east from Jasper along Hwy 16 (the Yellowhead Hwy and often refered to as the northern branch of the Trans-Canada Hwy) about 100 km before you reach Edmonton you'll notice an odd little sign on the right side of the road. It's for the community of Evansburg. Every year they have an election. No, not for the mayor, not for a beauty queen, but for Town Grouch. The winner is licensed to pester, harass, antagonize, criticize, complain and grumble without fear of reprisal for the whole next year. You can can have lunch in the local diner. Let's just hope you don't get a waitress who's in training.
