  Collectors from Uvalde and the surrounding area came out yesterday for Uvalde’s first collectors event hosted by Arellano Gerardo and his partner Gilbert Saturday dba Treetop Games on  January 13th, 2023 at the Uvalde Center next toUvalde Bargain Deals andMr. Gattis Pizza

 Gerardo said he was a collector himself but he sold his collection to get this event started. He also said he enjoyed collecting as a child and wanted to bring something he enjoyed to Uvalde.

“I know what it’s like to be a vendor. You always want an event to go to. I want to give Uvaldeans more events to go to.” he said.

 “It was an amazing turnout,” Gerardo said. “I’m grateful that these vendors said yes they paid but I’m glad they took the chance.”

 The event featured artists and vendors from Uvalde, Del Rio, Eagle Pass and the surrounding area. Some of the items for sale include Funko Pop characters, collectors cards, fan art and a variety of other collectables.

  One of the artists there was Melodie Desiree of Slice of Melo.  On one of her online pages it reads: 

  “I am self-taught traditional acrylic/watercolor artist, I’m just here to paint what I love and that mostly consists of space and cute girls. I hope you enjoy my artwork and the different styles I’ve worked hard at crafting and will continue to do so for as long as my creative passions stay alive. Supporting my art in anyway shape or form is greatly appreciated!” 

  Desiree said she likes to view the night sky at 19-Mile Crossing where the stars and constellations are easy to see. 

Gerardo went on to say he plans on hosting another collectors event in the near future.

  Uvalde’s Downtown area businesses have already decorated their storefronts for the upcoming Christmas Season and November’s Four-Square Friday event had a festive feel to it with Christmas lights visible at Julien’s, Mi-Vida and other store windows. Outside of Mi Vida, a small crowd could be seen on the sidewalk viewing a giant pizza being baked on a large oven situated in a nearby parking space about 7:30 PM. 

 The Doll Haus Boutique featured elegant dresses in its store windows and Cashlyn Varnon was spotted at the Southern Lace Marketplace store counter. Members of the Rotary Club of Uvalde including Club President Debbie McDonald accompanied by Margaret Stypko, Veronica Conoley, and Tom Garcia selling raffle tickets for chances to win one of three weekend getaways as a fundraiser to build a splash pad for Uvalde. 

 Other organizations hold fundraising events including a group of SWTJC students and Texas Cavalry Baseball, and one other organization.

 Arnie’s Nursery & Gifts is located on 610 North Grove Street just past Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

   Arnulfo Reyes, known by many as Arnie, said he bought the building which was once a convenience store. According to Reyes, he stated he still has some work to do on the outside of the business which has a turquoise color exterior and on the corner of the business an old Coca-Cola sign and small tractor can be seen along with a flag that reads, Nursery.

  While the outside of the business currently lacks signage, the inside of the business is full of decorative plants and gift items.
