This “photo of a photo” is compliments of James Clements. He has the original photo which appears to be from the late 1800s and contains over 100 people. The actual photo is 41″ wide and 8″ tall!
James is interested in finding a good home for this photograph. If you have suggestions or are willing to assist, let us know and we’ll connect you with him!
In response to a request during the state session, we have researched and are providing the information below. Note this information will also appear permanently at the very top of the Program Books and Information Page. Special thanks go to John Lowry of Porter Grange and Vicki Huff of Hollis Grange for their help!
How we display the flag communicates! The image to the left indicates recent state proclamations regarding flying the flag at half-staff. The image to the right indicates current federal proclamations.
This is a link to a guide to the Federal Law regarding displaying the Americal Flag: US Flag Code.

While searching for ideas to promote agriculture, the Maine State Grange Farmers’ Initiative discovered that Victor Grange #49 in Fairfield had a jump on us by several years. We asked Barbara Bailey from Victor Grange in Fairfield Maine to share her energy, tips, and success stories they experienced.
Barbara also put together a resource booklet containing planning information, tips, and samples of the material they have used. The booklet also includes Barb’s contact information–she would love to help your Grange set up a similar tour!
