Collectors Expo offers vendors of all trades

HARLINGEN — Local business owner Viola Garza knows everybody. But not everybody knows she went from selling Chick-fil-A sandwiches to selling toys full time.

For more than seven years, Garza and her business partner Jaime Cruz have been selling lots and lots of toys together.

J & V Toys Games and More at 1005 Harrison Ave. in Harlingen will be hosting its monthly Collectors Expo on Sunday at the Casa del Sol event center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The expo is back again for another fun-filled event. Collectibles of all kinds and vendors from all across the Valley will fill up to 52 tables with items to buy, sell and trade.

Superman, Darth Vader, Super Mario and many more popular figures could be in attendance.

Sunday’s event also will have a comic costume competition and feature a Hot Wheels race car event.

Races are $1 to race and winners receive a prize.
