Building Connections in Celina: A Recap and Exciting Future Ahead

Writer: Ron LyonsRon Lyons


Over the past few months, Celina’s business community has witnessed some truly inspiring networking events. Local entrepreneurs and professionals came together, shared ideas, built lasting relationships, and had a lot of fun along the way. From high-energy casino-themed networking nights to relaxed "Sip, Chat, Connect" sessions, these events have not only sparked collaborations but also set the stage for even more exciting gatherings in the near future.


A Night of High Stakes and Big Connections


On February 20th, the Best of Celina: Casino Night Networking event took place at RollerTown. It was an evening marked by high energy, creative networking challenges, and a touch of friendly competition—all without any real gambling. Guests earned “chips” in creative ways: simply showing up, exchanging business cards, and even locking in follow-up meetings earned them extra chips that could be exchanged for fantastic prizes.


The event brought together over 70 local business professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Attendees enjoyed themed drink specials, a mix of savory treats like Jazzy’s Tacos and refreshing Micheladas from Big Ku, and the overall festive atmosphere that made networking feel like a game rather than a chore. People left the night with new contacts, promising business deals, and a renewed sense of community spirit. The Casino Night proved that in Celina, every connection really does count—and that networking can be both fun and productive.


Sip, Chat, Connect: An Energizing Start to 2025


Earlier in the season, on January 30, 2025, the “Sip, Chat, Connect” event was held at Rollertown Beerworks. Hosted by local business leaders Ron Lyons of The Best of Celina and Ben Rogers of Rollertown, this gathering was a refreshing break from the standard networking formula. Attendees enjoyed lively drink specials while engaging in relaxed conversations, all without the pressure of delivering an elevator speech.


The event was a game-changer for many who attended. The atmosphere was casual and inviting—ideal for genuine interactions. Business cards were exchanged, ideas were sparked, and the shared passion for success was palpable throughout the room. “Sip, Chat, Connect” set the tone for 2025 by proving that meaningful relationships are built through conversation and camaraderie, not through forced formalities.


Upcoming: St. Patrick’s Day Themed Networking Celebration


Looking forward, excitement is already building for our next major networking event. Mark your calendars for March 20th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at RollerTown in Celina, Texas, for a St. Patrick’s Day Themed Small Business Networking Celebration. This event is set to bring a festive twist to networking:


  • Theme & Atmosphere:With a fun St. Patrick’s Day theme, this evening promises to be festive and lively. Attendees are encouraged to wear something green to add to the spirit of the event.

  • Live Music, Prizes, and Giveaways:Enjoy an evening filled with live music, exciting prizes, and a series of giveaways that promise to keep the energy high and the conversation flowing.

  • No Pressure, Just Connections:Unlike some traditional networking events, there is no pressure to stand up and give an elevator speech. This event is all about fostering genuine relationships and sharing ideas in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

  • Special Dessert Sponsorship:To sweeten the deal, dessert will be generously sponsored by Universal Creations by MG, Celina’s premier laser engraving business—adding a unique local flavor to the night.


Even though Spring Break coincides with this week, the organizers are determined to create an event where local entrepreneurs and business professionals can come together to build their networks and grow their businesses. If the past events are any indication, this upcoming celebration is set to be another milestone in fostering community and business growth in Celina.
