Members of our Zine Club traveled to Richmond with Olchar to attend ZineFest, where our students could sell or trade the zines they’ve created here at school.
Congratulations to two of our seniors for receiving honors from Roanoke College’s High School Fiction and Poetry Contest! Chloe A. has won Second Place for her story “A Poison Tree in Munich” and Oliver H. earned an honorable mention for his story “Scarecrow.” Look for Chloe’s story in an upcoming special issue of the Roanoke Review online journal!
Seven students from the CHS Zine Club shared little books by themselves and past members at the first Blacksburg Book and Art Fair. They mingled with other members of the SW Virginia publishing & art community and distributed scores of zines, including a set purchased for the zine collection of the Hollins University library.
Below can find links to some of the Gristle Butter publications created by our students.
The group thanks the students, parents, and faculty who stopped by to say hello!

Olchar gave his CHS Zine Club students their first opportunity since quarantining began to meet other zine makers, as well as learn about and become involved in the broader zine community.
The group worked a booth to sell and trade their zines at the brand-new Blacksburg Zine Fest (officially “Art & Book Fair”).
Olchar also worked a table for Monocle-Lash Anti-Press.
