About Smithville's Downtown Smithville

Smithville  Texas has a recycle center that not too many people are aware of.   When I went to drop off my recycle items I thought I would take a few pictures to share with you via video media.  I presort my recycle materials - Plastics 1 & 2, paper, cans so when I drive in I can just efficiently drop them off.  Takes me a couple of minutes and I feel good about keeping the items out of our local landfills. 

If you are looking for something to do today and tonight jump in your vehichle and head over to Smithville Texas. There will be lots happening, plenty for everyone to enjoy. The morning starts out with a Fun Run at 9 am. Then the arts and crafts show begins at 10 am which will run until around 5pm. There will be train rides, a petting zoo, pony rides, and Santa will be there for the kids. Plenty of shopping along the main street stores as the merchants display their goodies! There are some awesome antiques and collectibles stores! If you get hungry you can visit the new bigger and better Pockets Grill loction, and for a cold libation you can always visit Huebels! Of course the residents of Smithville has gotten into the spirit of things decorating their houses as they seem to do for each and every holiday. Drive thru the historic district to see what they have hung in preperation for Christmas and of course keep your eyes open for the wonderful vintage and historic homes for sale in Smithville Texas if you are considering a move out this way. Smithville is located about 40 minutes from downtown Austin out HWY 71 past Bastrop about thirteen miles. What are you waiting for? Grab your family or friends and come on out!

This weekend was a busy weekend in Smithville.  There was an antique and art fair, the Jamboree Parade, and lots of people curious to see what "stars" might be out.  There is a movie being filmed in town now and the movie Hope Floats was filmed there, before.

I was in town doing a light cleaning of a historic home I have listedfor the owners who were out of town.   While I was driving in I passed by so many of the wonderful historic and vintage homes that are in Smithville whos owners have taken advantage of the beautiful spring weather, landscaping their front yards and adding lots of spring color.

Hope you enjoy these photos!
