More than 40 vendors selling sports cards and other memorabilia have taken over Center Court at Westmoreland Mall for the weekend.

The annual event, which has been going on for more than a decade, gives interested parties the opportunity to buy, sell and trade cards, wax products, action figures, gaming products and more, according to Stacey Keating, spokesperson for Chattanooga, Tenn.-based CBL properties, the mall’s owner.

The event is put on by by Joe’s Sports Card & Collectibles, she said. It’s one of many events hosted by the mall over the past few months.

Last June, officials hosted the mall’s first carnival, located in the parking lot outside the Hempfield shopping center. The event featured classic games like break the bottle and rides including a Ferris wheel, spinning teacups, a swinging pirate ship, a Magic Maze and Alien Abduction. Food vendors sold funnel cakes, fried Oreos, lemonade and burgers.

A farmer’s market ran from July to September, selling produce from Duda’s Farm Stand. The market was set up in the former Sears parking lot, which shuttered in March.

The annual fire prevention day was hosted in October, showing more than 100 pieces of fire apparatus from surrounding departments.

The events act as a way to bring people to the mall, increasing traffic in stores and reminding “the community of all the great things that await them at Westmoreland Mall,” officials said in June.

The Sports Cards and Collectibles show runs from Friday to Sunday on the lower level of the mall.
