This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.

Join us as we celebrate our 40th anniversary at our current location! We will have refreshments and TWO special performances by Cowboy Buck and Elizabeth. The first performance at 11 a.m. features interactive musical comedy and ventriloquism for kids of all ages. Their second performance at 1 p.m. will take (some of) you on a stroll down memory lane with folk songs of the 60s and 70s.
