What is Smiles Day?

Veterans...
   Homecoming...
​        Community

Schuyler County’s annual celebration, Smiles Day, was first held in September 1919.  It began as a way to welcome home the soldiers of WWI.  In 1967, Smiles Day combined with the Rushville High School Homecoming activities.  However, Smiles Day has always kept the proud tradition of honoring veterans. In 2019, we held our 100th anniversary celebration.
