The year was 1939 when the Mercedes, Texas Chamber of Commerce gathered to organize the first Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show and Agricultural Exposition. With humble beginnings, the event quickly gained popularity in the community. Through its preservation of Texas’ ranching and agricultural heritage, the event made quite the impact on the surrounding communities and today is considered one of the top ten livestock shows and rodeos in the Lone Star State.
