Not surprisingly, a town with as much history as San Juan has an
ample number of shops selling items from yesteryear. The Mission
City has an even dozen antique dealers and features an annual
antiques market. Here’s a look at a few:
The Chamber’s 43rd Annual Antiques and Collectible Flea Market
is just around the corner. Mark your calendar for Sunday, Aug. 6
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This event has it all
– antiques, collectibles, nostalgia and memorabilia. Besides the
local shops providing a lot of this show, you’ll also see a lot
from other dealers from around the state.
