The 13th annual Smithville Boo Bash will be Thursday, October 31 from 12 noon until 5 p.m. at participating businesses in town and at the courthouse and county complex. Look for the orange pumpkin in the window.
Although much of the public square will be blocked off for the Boo Bash next Thursday, October 31 starting at 11 a.m. the City of Smithville will make accommodations for voters on the last day of early voting for the November 5th elections by keeping Market Street and Third Streets open on the south side of the courthouse. The Smithville Police Department will also be stepping up patrols in the area for the safety of kids trick or treating and voters.
Motorists are urged to leave parking spaces open on the south side of the courthouse for voters.
