Robinson greeted, shook hands, and took pictures with supporters, but remained tight-lipped to any questions.
The event is his first public appearance after a CNN report about his alleged posts on a pornography website's message board, sent a political shockwave in the battleground state.
Robinson denied writing the posts, which include lewd and racist comments, saying Thursday that he wouldn't be forced out of the race by "salacious tabloid lies."
"This job is about serving the people and you are the people and we're going to work our butts off," he said Saturday.
ABC11 spoke with Hope Mills resident Donald Marquis who shook hands with Robinson during the meet and greet.
"I think he would be great for governor of North Carolina," Marquis said.
He told us why he doesn't believe in the bombshell allegations made against the Republican gubernatorial candidate.

"This all made-up stuff, he said it himself," Marquis said.
Robinson redirected the attention on Saturday to his campaign, telling the large crowd they're the reason why he's running for governor.
"We're going to focus on the issues that you're concerned with," Robinson said. "While everybody else wants to focus on the garbage and the trash."
While some Republicans are standing by Robinson, some Democrats expressed their concern for the impact this could potentially have on the upcoming election with Robinson vowing to stay in the Governor's race.
"Mark Robinson and Donald Trump, they are both too extreme for North Carolina," Pastor Mark Rowden of Savannah Missionary Baptist Church said. "The stakes of this election, if Trump and Robinson win in North Carolina, they are too high."
Robinson's appearance Saturday came the same day Trump held a presidential campaign event in Wilmington.
Trump's campaign has appeared to distance itself in the wake of the CNN report, saying in a statement that Trump "is focused on winning the White House and saving this country" and calling North Carolina "a vital part of that plan" without mentioning Robinson.
The Republican presidential nominee has referred to Robinson as "Martin Luther King on steroids" and has long praised him.
On Sunday, Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsay Graham, of South Carolina, said Robinson deserves a chance to defend himself against the allegations. He said Robinson is "a political zombie if he does not offer a defense to this that's credible" and argued the issue wouldn't hurt Trump.
"If they're true, he's unfit to serve for office," Graham said. "If they're not true, he has the best lawsuit in the history of the country for libel."
