Below is a collection of Facebook posts from our Group page (must be a member to view) with keywords added. Searches can be difficult on Facebook since we sometimes don’t have the right search terms. Links below tell a story or offer some archive-worthiness. They have been entered mostly in chronological order by date posted, but sort by that column if you know about when you saw it. Links open in new tab. Many thanks to Charlie Pie Traynor for archiving these over the years so that we can present them here!
