Abstract:
On October 19, 1970, Governor Robert W. Scott and Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Graham will honor more than 700 Century Farm Families at the N.C. State Fair. The families, who have maintained ownership of family farmland for more than 100 years, will be served lunch and receive a certificate signed by Governor Scott and Commissioner Graham. Additionally, each family will be guests of the fair for the evening show at Dorton Arena and a permanent plaque listing all of the families by county will be installed at the fairgrounds.
