This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Time to learn how to shoot. Time to learn about defending yourself and those you love. Self-defense begins with “self”. Help isn’t always around when you need it the most. Come and learn.
I will instruct on the basic safety of firearms, how to grip, stand, aim, trigger press, and other issues involving firearms. If you do not have a handgun, I have a couple 9mm and a couple .22’s for you to try. Bring eye/ear protection (I have extra of these as well), your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for that firearm, a baseball cap and a notebook to take notes. If you do not have a firearm, bring a box of 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR to use in my firearms.
Fee is $75 and preregistration is required with a $25 non-refundable deposit and $50 balance due at the door. Please call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to register. Space is limited so, again, preregistration is required.

Join the Lewis Conservation District and Mallonee Farms organic dairy for a cover crop planting demonstration! The no-till drill is available for rent at The Farm Store in Chehalis. The 1590 John Deere no-till drill features a 10′ working width and 7.5″ row spacing. It is great for planting grass, legumes, and grains. Come learn how to operate the drill and see it in action.

Burnt Ridge Nursery and Orchards in Onalaska will host weekly organic gardening classes this summer. In the first session, we will discuss how to plan gardens and home orchards and ways to add trees, shrubs, and vines to your existing landscape. We’ll also touch on planting for pollination, nitrogen fixation, sod removal, and mulching. Presented by Ben Kunesh, on staff horticulturalist.
Come and learn about handguns. How to load, grip, sight alignment, stance and more. Have questions regarding how a gun works, self-defense or any other topic involving firearms, this is the class for you. If you do not own a firearm I have several for you to try. Cost is $75 and preregistration is required with a $25 non-refundable deposit and balance due at the door. Bring your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for it, eye protection, ear protection and a baseball cap. If you do not own a pistol or revolver, bring 9mm Ruger/ Parabellum and/or .22LR ammo to use in the firearms I have available. If you do not have eye/ear protection, I have those available for your use as well. To register contact Dolly at 360-978-4338.
