This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Girls Night Out is a retail promotion for shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Centralia. It is held twice a year in April and October! Starting points are HUBBUB on the north end and The Station Coffee Bar and Bistro on the south end. We have a non-profit partner this time and they are the Lewis Co. Relay for Life, Paisley’s Posse.. One dollar from every passport sold will go as a donation to them to help with the cancer fight! 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!
We invite you to share in the uplifting of the top 25 students of Centralia and Chehalis as well as honor the several scholarship recipients, including the Rob Fuller Scholarship and the Olivia Mitchell Scholarship.
If you would like to contribute in another way, you can call to sponsor a student or school administrator’s attendance for $25, however, we are very much in need of $25 gift cards.
