POTEET, Texas — One of the biggest strawberry bashes in the world is back on this weekend.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected for the Poteet Strawberry Festival to enjoy the berries and some fun in the sun.
It’s a love for the strawberry that draws crowds to this small Texas town each year. But for Ruth Ann Schulze, the berries are in her blood.
“I want to make sure that they know that, if they come here on the grounds, we are going to have good strawberries for you, unique Poteet strawberries,” Schulze said. “They're not from California. They are grown right here on our Poteet soil.”
