Pioneer & Ranching Crafts Day

Put on a pair of boots and c’mon over to the Museum of South Texas History to celebrate Pioneer & Ranching Crafts Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17. This community festival will offer a day filled with entertainment and demonstrations that illustrate the crafts and traditions of early farming and ranching in South Texas and northeastern Mexico.

This year’s theme celebrates the multitude of bootmakers that exist in the Valley, some for multiple generations. Visitors will have an opportunity to learn about the history and craftwork of regional works. Families and visitors can also experience live ranch-style cooking and craft demonstrations. Children’s activities and artisan vendors will be scattered throughout the museum grounds for a better family experience. For the latest updates on this special family event, please visit mosthistory.org/events or call the museum at 956-383-6911.

The featured boot makers are Moran’s Boots, Mandujano Boots, Rios of Mercedes and Coronado Boots.
