MISSION, Texas (ValleyCentral) — If you look close, you'll notice there's more to these dresses than bold color. The annual Texas Citrus Fiesta in Mission features many young Rio Grande Valley girls in their big, bright and beautiful citrus-themed dresses–creatively crafted to honor citrus, limes, grapes and more. Robert Rivera, office manager at Texas Citrus Fiesta, said each dress is uniquely made according to the request of the girl who will wear it. Things can get splashy as each young lady represents a particular citrus entity: lemon, tangerine, orange, watermelon and more.
