December 6: Festival of Lights, Smithville
Kick off the Christmas holidays in charming small town style! The day begins with an invigorating 5K Fun Run through the streets of Smithville chasing the Gingerbread man. Cost is $10 to run which includes a t-shirt that attests you can "Run, run as fast as you can...You can't catch the Smithville Gingerbread Man!" The air is festive throughout the day with live music featuring local choirs at the gazebo and the annual lighted parade just after dark. There is no cost to be a part of the parade, you just have to register ahead of time with the Smithville Area Chamber of Commerce. The event is even broadcast on the Internet so that our friends from far away don't miss a single glimmering bulb. The parade is concluded with Santa waving from atop the city's fire engine and wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas!" For more information, visit http://www.smithvilletx.org/.
