Event details: Poteet Strawberry Festival 2010
Description
The Annual Poteet Strawberry Festival is one of the largest and most popular festivals in Texas. With crowds exceeding 100,000 annually, it pours between $10-$12 million into the South Texas economy, a most welcome economic boost for the area. Strictly a non-profit organization, the Festival Association funds scholarships to graduating seniors in addition to supporting community projects. The Festival Association is composed of seven Poteet civic organizations and coordinated by a 15-member Board of Directors along with approximately 8,000 volunteers. Located in the heart of the Artesian Belt, Poteet is recognized as the Strawberry Capital of Texas. No doubt, Henry and Ida Mumme, the citys founders, would be amazed to see what acclaim is now attached to the crop which started as a few rows in Mummes kitchen garden.
