Flyers
Show flyers, cut, pasted and copied at the library for ten cents a page, then stapled to every pole on Main Street. Most came to the archive in shoeboxes. The oldest is a ballpoint drawing from 1987; the newest announces the Grange’s last show.

Feed Store Saints and Ditch Lilies at the Grange
Dee cut the big letters out of a seed catalog and copied two hundred of these at the library, ten cents a page. The show drew 212 people, the most the Grange ever let in. -
Ditch Lilies in the Mill Street basement
The first Ditch Lilies show, in the basement of a rented house on Mill Street. The flyer gives the address only as “the green house, knock loud.” -

Admission was three dollars or three cans of food. The lodge sent 640 cans to the county food bank the next Monday. -

The release show for Silo, the band’s first tape. The flyer asked everyone to bring a chair, and most people did. -

The library’s teen board booked two bands and served lemonade. Quiet hours were suspended for the afternoon, by a vote of the library board. -

The release show for the first Static Hum compilation tape: eleven bands, eleven songs, one very long night. -

Potluck Riot’s last show anywhere, and the last show at the Grange before it closed for repairs. Admission was a dish to share. -
