Girls Night Out is a retail promotion for shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Centralia.
Starting points are HUBBUB on the north end and The Station Coffee Bar and Bistro on the south end. Our non-profit is the Human Response Network. Two dollars from every passport sold will go as a donation to them. Also, the first 200 shoppers will get a goody bag. At the end of the night, and it is time to turn your passport end, turn it end at the last business you visit. There will be a drawing of the turned in passports for a chance to win the gift basket! We all look forward to seeing you, so enjoy and have fun shopping and dining in downtown Centralia!

NODA consists of “compassionate companions” who volunteer their time and presence to provide bedside companionship to dying patients in their last hours and moments of life.
This year, those who attend the event can expect a memorable and fun-filled evening starting with a Pre-Gala Champagne hour that includes a classic and sports auto museum tour, a gourmet plated dinner and hosted bar, a wine grab, a dessert dash, an exciting silent and live auction of unique adventures, experiences and highly-sought after items, and live entertainment by the Backfire Band.
