🎆 THANK YOU, CELINA AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY! 🎆

A huge thank you to the Celina American Legion Auxiliary for hosting our Designer Purse Bingo and for their incredible support of the Celina Lake Festival.

We are so grateful for community partners like you who help make the Lake Festival — and our fireworks — possible. Your continued support truly makes a difference, and we couldn’t do this without you. 💙✨

Thank you to everyone who attended, played bingo, and supported this amazing event!

Once again, It was the Legion Auxiliaries privilege to work with the Lake Festival Committee to host their second annual Purse Bingo. We were able to donate $9,680 towards their fireworks show!!! A huge thank you to our community for making this event a success!
