Time to learn how to shoot. Time to learn about defending yourself and those you love. Self-defense begins with “self”. Help isn’t always around when you need it the most. Come and learn.
I will instruct on the basic safety of firearms, how to grip, stand, aim, trigger press, and other issues involving firearms. If you do not have a handgun, I have a couple 9mm and a couple .22’s for you to try. Bring eye/ear protection (I have extra of these as well), your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for that firearm, a baseball cap and a notebook to take notes. If you do not have a firearm, bring a box of 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR to use in my firearms.
Fee is $75 and preregistration is required with a $25 non-refundable deposit and $50 balance due at the door. Please call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to register. Space is limited so, again, preregistration is required.

Join the Lewis Conservation District and Mallonee Farms organic dairy for a cover crop planting demonstration! The no-till drill is available for rent at The Farm Store in Chehalis. The 1590 John Deere no-till drill features a 10′ working width and 7.5″ row spacing. It is great for planting grass, legumes, and grains. Come learn how to operate the drill and see it in action.
The Lewis County Stream Team planted trees along Mill Creek to improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat. This spring the trees need our help to survive against the reed canary grass, which blocks out sunlight and nutrients. Join us Saturday to help cut and stomp grass in a circle around the trees. Show off your best dance moves!
Directions: 266 Jefferies Road, Chehalis, Washington. Meet at the gravel parking lot located on the right side after Glenview Lane. Look for the salmon signs.
**Work gloves and refreshments provided. Bringing your own tools is welcome. Please bring appropriate footwear for wet areas. This event is family friendly.
