At Edge Ink & Ideas, history matters — it shapes the stories we preserve and the creativity we inspire. That’s why we’re celebrating the Smithville Historical Society’s 50th Anniversary by combining art and history in one unforgettable day.
Start your day with us before all the festivities — the Sustainable Garden Show, Community Wide Garage Sale, and Music Festival. It’s the perfect kickoff for families: fuel up, get creative, and set out for a full day of Smithville’s celebrations!
