Celeste Center — Attraction in Columbus

Other than that, I TRULY enjoy Quarter Horse Congress and the competition and the beauty of the athletes both...

They had people out talking to cars and telling them to go to the 17th street entrance- a sign would have been more efficient and effective. Showed up for graduation this AM and they had an event beside the Celeste center and the 17th street entrance was the only way in. Nightmare.

The inside was nice and cool. It is spacious. The bathrooms smelled like urine at...
