Robbinsville Christmas Parade: Dec. 9, 2023

Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the final steps of bleacher and fence installation were underway at Big Oaks Stadium! #Robbinsville hosts Mountain Heritage in JV action at 6:30 p.m. today; the #BlackKnights welcome East Surry for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff Friday. #SMCFB #NCHSAAFB #SMCJVFB

The Graham Star has been the only media source to provide consistent updates on the progress being made with home-bleacher renovations at Big Oaks Stadium. Today, we are pleased to report that aluminum bleachers (the new seating) arrived on Friday. Through the help of community volunteers, this is what was installed yesterday; a fencing crew is working inside the venue today. Look for more in the Aug. 17 edition; the same day as the #Robbinsville JV #BlackKnights season opener against Mountain Heritage. #SMCFB #SMCJVFB #NCHSAAFB

Renovations to the home bleachers at Big Oaks Stadium are moving right along — and to coincide with the effort, the #Robbinsville #BlackKnights got to work this afternoon, preparing to embark on the 2023 season. #SMCFB #NCHSAAFB

The home seating area at Big Oaks Stadium is coming along nicely! The next step is pouring the concrete pad.

History is occurring right before our very eyes: after 41 years in place, the home bleachers at Big Oaks Stadium are being demolished. The #GrahamCounty boards of commissioners and education voted to utilize community help just a few hours ago to get metal bleachers installed in time for the 2023 season to kick off.
