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 for a presentation that will cover the life of George Washington from being raised by his adopted white parents, Anna and James Cochran, to his travels across the country to the Pacific Northwest, where the Cochrans purchased the 640 acre homestead and deeded it to Washington.
This session will be the capstone event for “Learnings from the Chehalis.” Over the past 15 years, community volunteers, citizens, and government agencies have been putting effort in to making the Chehalis River clean and healthy for people, fish and wildlife. How well have we done? This session will look at progress made on water quality improvement, salmon habitat restoration, water conservation, and the impacts of regulations and policies.
Our capstone talk will be held by a panel from the Chehalis Basin Partnership. The Chehalis Basin Partnership was formed in 1998 to provide a framework for local citizens, interest groups, and government organizations to work collaboratively to identify and solve water-related issues. Come with questions!
A twist on the traditional pumpkin, in this workshop you’ll learn to make unique and adorable pumpkins covered in orange curly silky soft mohair locks, topped with a green stem hat. Something more of a Pumpkin Gnome, or Gnome-o-Lantern? Whatever you call them, they are pure fun!
All the wool you will need is supplied. Bring your favorite felting needles and a felting pad. Other color options will be available.
Celebrating 70 years of Lewis County History at Yard Birds. There will be an extensive collection of Yard Birds memorabilia, photos, and audio/ visual displays to celebrate the 70 years since Yard Birds began in the Twin Cities. Plus, free popcorn (while supplies last).
We hope to see you at the Lewis County Historical Museum for our opening night festivities. Opening night is free, but donations are gladly accepted.
Pick up a world map and trace your family’s passage from your ancestral homeland to Salkum, with landing points along the way; then share them on display at the Library! Submissions may be posted to library social media.
