With all this talk about centennial celebrations you might be wondering when Robeson County celebrates their centennial.

Just three years after the program started, Robeson County started an organized youth program in 1913. In other words, in two more years, we will have a centennial to celebrate our strong roots. Start planning now for the big event.
