Located in the heart of the Artesian Belt, Poteet is recognized as the “Strawberry Capital of Texas”. No doubt, Henry and Ida Mumme, the city’s founders, would be amazed to see what acclaim is now attached to the crop which started as a few rows in Mumme’s kitchen garden. The first year of marketing Poteet strawberries proved very successful and strawberries sold for $20….that’s more than they sell for on today’s market. In 1921 a group of Poteet citizens invited guests from San Antonio to partake in its new-found delicacies. Headlines in the San Antonio Express read, “Crimson Berries Beckon Hungry Tourists to Poteet.” The Poteet Rotary Club continued the tradition when it organized the 1st Annual Poteet Strawberry Festival in 1948.

In 1939, the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show and Agricultural Exposition, the foundation of today’s Show, was organized as a project of the Mercedes Chamber of Commerce. The first Show was held in 1940 on the grounds of a local livestock sales yard with improvised pens and lean-to sheds. The Show continued to be held on this same property until 1949 when it moved to its present location. In 1947, the Show was incorporated and chartered as a non-profit educational organization with a Board of Directors representing all of the four southmost counties of Texas.
