Show some support to our brothers across the water!

We are planning this event, we want to push it out there and see if this is something the public may be interested in. We will post the date soon, it will be a Saturday in August, at this time we are just seeing if there is any interest before we finish the planning. Theres not much to do in Richmond County and we are looking to change that. Also don't forget our big trick or treat event on Halloween night

Due to increased fire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 8 a.m. Friday, March 21 until further notice.

Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.

The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within that 100 feet.
