A special thank you to Consuela for not only hosting but for generously donating proceeds to the We Support Smithville ISD Committee. It’s always heartwarming to see how much our community cares for the students and staff of Smithville ISD.

And let’s not forget the unforgettable Great Casino Night! What an incredible event it was?filled with excitement, great energy, and a whole lot of fun! We are so thankful for everyone who participated and helped make the night a huge success. Looking ahead, we have more amazing events lined up. We hope you're staying cool and continuing to enjoy the season.
