On Thursday, March 16, 2023 at the South Texas College Mid-Valley Campus, the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce proudly debuted, “1015”, a new documentary that highlights the development of the Sweet Texas 1015 Onion.
The documentary will be available during the upcoming Texas Onion Festival on Saturday, March 25, 2023, in Historic Downtown Weslaco. You can check out three screenings at the Weslaco Museum, 10AM, 12PM and 1PM. Stop by and check it out.
The red-carpet event was a spectacular showcase of the rich culture and agricultural feats for Weslaco. This documentary is a resource that will allow the Weslaco Visitors Center staff to share the story of the 1015 onion and why we celebrate it in Weslaco. In addition to being developed in Weslaco, the 1015 Onion is the state vegetable for Texas.
Included in “1015” you’ll find interviews from local Onion Distributors, Mike Davis with Tex-Mex Sales and Don Ed Holmes with The Onion House.
The documentary will also be available for viewing at the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center beginning April 2023.
