The Board of Directors & Committee Members of the Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree & Craft Festival would like to express their sincere gratitude to the city government, county government, and first responders for their assistance and cooperation during the event.

The event, which took place on June 30th – July 1st was a success thanks to the support and guidance of the city and county officials, who helped secure the necessary resources for the event. The event organizer also appreciates the professionalism and dedication of Charlie Parker with Emergency Management, Hoyte Hale and all the first responders, who ensured the safety and well-being of the attendees and staff.

The Board also acknowledges the help of Mayor Matt Adcock, Smithville Police Chief Mark Collins, Sheriff Patrick Ray, Steven Ferrell and all the trustees who helped set up and tear down the event, especially in the early morning hours of Sunday. Mayor Josh Miller, Kevin Robinson, and the entire Sanitation Department for always having the city back to normal by Sunday morning.

“Well, I always say it takes a village and the village showed up,” said President Kim Luton. “With all the severe weather that took place, we also want to thank Cumberland Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist Church, Refuge Church, City Hall, and DeKalb County Courthouse for opening their doors to the public for shelter. The First Baptist Church also hosted a breakfast for all the Crafters early Saturday morning which was very much appreciated.”

The event, which aimed to highlight Appalachian style crafts, dance, and music, attracted a total of 452 participants – an increase from 288 in 2022 as well as 198 Craft Booths – majority handmade. The Smithville Jamboree Board and Committee is proud to have contributed to the community and looks forward to 2024. Volunteers are desperately needed.

Little tykes riding on decorated wagons, tricycles, bikes, and kids battery powered toy vehicles were featured in a 4th of July Yankee Doodle parade this morning (Tuesday) at the Webb House Retirement Center.

The children, led or accompanied by their parents, waved as they rode down the sidewalk by a group of Webb House residents and others who had gathered outside on the front porch to view the cute Independence Day attraction.
