Since 1985 Kettle Falls has proudly welcomed visitors to its growing town of quaint shops, friendly people, and one grouch.
The rank of Kettle Falls Town Grouch is traditionally bestowed on a person who shows exceptional leadership qualities and deserves a place of honor. The Grouch is named to take the lead in the parade processionals and in hosting festivities. The ceremonial titleholder is often renowned as a community leader or cultural hero.
