Plano Daily Local Headlines — March 2, 2026

Here’s your quick read on what’s bubbling up around Plano to start the week.

1) Plano SWAT assists in Celina warrant operation

Authorities in Celina said a warrant service on Rawhide Road brought in Plano’s SWAT team, along with other nearby tactical support, and ended without incident. Officials said everyone listed in the warrant was taken into custody, and they emphasized there was no ongoing threat to the public as the scene was processed.

2) Big kids’ consignment sale runs March 1–3 at Plano Event Center

A large seasonal resale event focused on kids’ clothing, gear, and family items is underway at the Plano Event Center. Organizers list free public shopping windows, plus discount periods that can make it worth a second visit. Monday evening’s schedule includes a half-price sale for tagged discount items, and Tuesday morning is advertised as a deeper markdown window before the event wraps.

3) Prom dress drive kicks off at Legacy West

A community prom dress and accessories drive has started at Legacy West, with drop-offs scheduled through mid-March. The drive is asking for new or gently worn formalwear and accessories in a range of sizes, and organizers say donations will be directed to help area students get outfitted for prom season.

4) Retro Expo set for March 7–8 in Plano

Looking ahead to next weekend, Retro Expo is scheduled at the Plano Event Center with a collector-focused floor of comics, vintage toys, video games, and related pop-culture finds. Event details list separate Saturday and Sunday hours, with an optional VIP entry window for early shopping.

That’s the local snapshot for today. If you’re heading out tonight, expect the usual Plano traffic pinch points around the tollway ramps and major intersections as evening events overlap.
