Local Civic Leader Honored at Fiddler’s Jamboree

The 37th annual Smithville Fiddler’s Jamboree & Crafts Festival is underway. It began around 8:30 a.m. today (Friday) with welcoming remarks by local government and civic leaders.
County Mayor Mike Foster made a special presentation to Jimmy Walls for his service to the community.
The plaque presented to Walls reads ” In appreciation for your life long service and dedication to Smithville and DeKalb County. We applaud your leadership, your courage, and your fortitude. Your contributions to this community have been a glowing example for all to see and admire. You have always set standards for excellence. We appreciate you very much. Presented by the DeKalb County Mayor and Commission and on behalf of Smithville”
The DeKalb County Commission, last month, recognized Mr. Walls.
The resolution, in part, reads ” Whereas, from time to time, it is appropriate for DeKalb County to recognize people who unselfishly serve our County. It is therefore fitting that the DeKalb County Commission and County Mayor honor Jimmy Walls for the service he has given his Country, his County, and his State.”
