Big Boots of Mercedes
Mercedes is home to the most unique Public Art project in the state of Texas. There are 30 handcrafted 5 1/2 foot tall cowboy boots dispersed throughout the city, each beautifully painted with different colleges from around the state, country and even Mexico. People are passionate about their alma mater and come from all over to take a picture with their boot! You are invited to come visit yours and post it, tweet it, instagram it, and most importantly, hashtag it#botasdemercedes.
