Trick-or-treaters are again invited downtown Smithville to enjoy lots of candy, hotdogs, popcorn and more at the annual “Smithville Boo Bash” to be held on Halloween day from noon until 5p.m. Offices within the county complex will also be participating in the fun, so take your spooks there, too.
Look for the stores and offices with a picture of an orange pumpkin on their windows. Maps are also available at the police department and Justin Potter Library to show parents which businesses will be taking part in the event.
This year there are 40 plus businesses and offices downtown who are participating. This event is sponsored by the Smithville Police Department and the Smithville City Hall. You can find a downloadable map on the Smithville Police Department’s Facebook page or at the Smithville Review office.
During the Smithville Boo Bash, the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber will be sponsoring the Best Costume Contest for Smithville businesses/offices. Just take a picture with your phone and send it to 615-464-7760 by 1 p.m. on October 31. First, second, and third place winners will be presented a “Smithville Boo Bash Best Costume” award, media recognition, and most important bragging rights.
