This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
This race is the kick-off to Run Amok’s season, which officially starts the Thursday before with a group training run at O’Blarney’s. Whether you want to join the club full time or just do this one race, you are sure to have fun.
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style at O’Blarney’s! The festivities include:
6:00pm Slieveloughane Irish Dancers (SRS Irish Dancers)
9:00pm DJ “That Guy”
Climb aboard for a leisurely Saturday train ride while the “Easter Bunny” and “Chicken Little” hide the eggs. Upon the return of the train, children (12 years and under) will go into the “egg field” to gather candy filled Easter Eggs! Many eggs will have prize tickets inside to be redeemed in the depot.

Hop from business to business in downtown Chehalis to hunt for Easter eggs. Get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny at the Lewis County Historical Museum.
Keep your eyes open on Easter Sunday, March 27th! The Bunny and her helpers will have eggs hidden all over the mountain. We expect to see them out from 9 am – Noon or whenever the last one if found!
