The Village of Robeline will hold its monthly meeting in the Police Depot on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to come be a part of the discussion of your community.
I attended the quarterly meeting of the library board to get an update on the possible Robeline library. The plan is still in place but at a stand still for the lack of available property. The library would like the property to be on or very close to Hwy. 6, so if you or someone you know would be willing to sell their property please contact the Natchitoches Parish Library.
Natchez has had more success with finding available property and while the board would have like to move on both projects simultaneously, it is looking like Natchez will move forward alone unless something happens in the next month or so. I of course want Robeline to have its library but I am very happy the library board has decided go ahead and get the ball rolling for Natchez. I know the people of Natchez will greatly enjoy the new addition to their community.
The Heritage Society will also have a meeting on Thursday, Sept. 9 at 4 p.m. We are just two-and-a-half weeks from the festival and time seems to be flying by. If you intend to come to the Alumni Dinner it is not limited to individuals who graduated. We do realize some students had to move schools in the middle of high school when Robeline closed. Please contact us if you have any questions.
We are also still accepting vendors and parade applications for the Robeline Heritage Festival on Oct. 4-5. We invite all to come join in the fun. I can be contacted at 318-354-7019
The musical entertainment for Friday night will be the Stewart Family at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, The Sundown band will start off at 5:30 p.m., followed by The Dirt.
