This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Armed with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, three female 1970’s office workers team up to take revenge against their sexist, egotistical, lying boss. An outrageous comedy!
The evil and greedy Medusa Dunnit has taken over the sleepy little town of Critter Crossing with the help of weak-willed Judge Wally Wessell and Sheriff Black Bert Bushwacker. Who will step forward to help plucky Penelope Fortune save Critter Crossing’s Orphan School and Old Folks Home from these evil villains? The Roxy Players follow this classic melodrama with vaudeville-style music and comedy.
Open seating.
The National Park Service celebrated their 100th birthday in 2016 but the origin of America’s parks goes all the way back to the Civil War and beyond. Author Russell Cahill thinks it started when a single tree was cut down in California in 1852. Cahill was a National Park Ranger during the 1960s and 70s and has written of the origins of our parks and his adventures in Yosemite, Alaska, Washington D.C. and Hawai’i. Join him and hear of rescues, forest fires, bears breaking into a five-star hotel and other happenings. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.
The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Science fiction author and illustrator, Sara Light-Waller, comes to Chehalis on April 27th from 1:00-3:00 PM for a signing of her new book, “ANCHOR: A Strange Tale of Time.”
She is part of Independent Bookstore Day, a celebration of small bookstores around the country with events including book signings by local authors, giveaways, and the whole bookish ecosystem.
The event will be held at Book N’ Brush, 518 N Market Blvd. Chehalis, WA. It is free to the public. Free street parking is available.
Sara Light-Waller is a pulp historian who specializes in science fiction that retains the look and feel of Golden Age pulp but is updated for modern sensibilities. She runs Lucina Press (lucinapress.com) and lives in Centralia, WA.
