A very special history making event is taking place in the heart of downtown Corpus Christi on September 17th...the dedication of the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Exhibit. This is an on-going partnership with our wonderful friends at Texas A&M Corpus Christi University. We're inviting the community to the dedication of this soon to be landmark in our city.
