The Celina Flying Sportsmen will be holding their 25th Annual Swap Meet  on Sunday, January 8th at the Celina Senior High School Gymnasium. Times are 8:30 - 1:30pm, with vendor set up at 7:30am.

Christmas season began in Celina on November 26th with a pancake breakfast with Santa at St. Pauls Methodist Church, held from 8 am to 11 am . The Kiwanis Club makes the event even more special for the kids as the pancakes are flipped and they catch them on their plates. The Reindog Parade was held downtown and starts in the Celina Insurance parking lot and ends at Santa's house downtown. There will be free trains rides after the parade. The marching band will be present and the event is designed to bring your dogs and dress them up as reindeer and march them in the parade.At the conclusion of the parade the dogs go through a contest where Perfect Paws rewards the dogs owners with trophies for the different contests such as best dressed, best tricks, etc. Santa is also present at Santa's house until 2 pm and carriage rides are available downtown. Also a coloring contest which was held earlier in the week will conclude with the two winners presented bicycles and the two second place winners will get scooters. Local businesses donate money and certificates, etc which go toward scholarships for the Celina schools.
