The Councilor for Youth, Andrés López, and the organizer of the event, Juan Antonio Martínez, today presented the IV National Collecting Fair that will take place on April 28 and 29 at the Municipal Sports Center.
Among the different exhibitions included in this new edition are the usual Playmobil diorama, a collection of Dolls of the World dressed in their typical costumes, a collection of video games from the 90s, an exhibition of regional costumes by choirs and dances of Puerto Lumbreras or one of the largest collections of pins in the Region of Murcia composed of more than 11,000 pieces.
This year, as the main novelty highlights the concentration of Scalextric collectors, who also organize a tournament on a large track mounted on the fair grounds.
A friendly tournament that will feature a professional track, an easier track for children and a warm-up track where participants can tune up their cars before the competition begins.
The Councilor for Youth, Andrés López, has encouraged everyone to participate in one way or another in this meeting that, year after year, is becoming a national reference.
An "ideal" place, López affirms "to relive great memories through the most varied objects exhibited in the 400 square meters of planned space that will be occupied".
The mayor of Youth has stressed that "initiatives like this are vital to boost the culture and social activity of the municipality, discovering great memories carefully stored in the drawers of many homes and that, otherwise, would fall into oblivion."
In addition, as usual the section of purchase-sale will have exhibitors arrived from different parts of Spain (Madrid, Seville, Granada, Valencia, Asturias, Almeria, Albacete or Murcia) with materials as diverse as stamps, coins, calendars, minerals , tickets, badges, bookmarks, miniatures, scalextric, playmobil, LP's, and a long etcetera.
We will have to wait until the next 28 and 29 April to discover the biggest curiosities in one of the main events of collecting in Spain.
Visitors can enjoy the exhibition free of charge from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday 28 and from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday 29.
