Roblin community notes mark anniversaries and projects
Twenty years ago Lions Club member Ellie Schmitt presented a framed Act on Roblin's 90th anniversary with about 225 attendees including six ex mayors. The town hosted a beer and fry spread at Terry's restaurant. A long list of local items follows, from school curriculum changes to water protest plans, cemetery rules, building permits, war veterans, and civic projects. Local winners, anniversaries, and public notices recap the era’s community life.

Ken Rosenberg links agricultural intensification, pesticides, and habitat conversion to grassland bird declines.
