This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.

Bring your Redneck vehicles, big or little, rusty or shiny, loud or quiet, and join Team Laugh Out Loud for a fun-filled afternoon. Prizes for Biggest, Loudest, Most Redneck, Least Redneck and People’s Choice, and a kids’ “vehicle” division.
Lots of activities for the kids: sunflower seed spitting contest, kiddie tractor pull, sack races, tug-o-war, candy walk and more. Vendors, music and a silent auction. Proceeds this year to benefit The Cat’s Meow, low and no-cost spay/neuter services, and socialization and adoption of feral kittens.

It’s the last Friday Farmers Market in downtown Chehalis! We’re wrapping it up with an amazing street concert from Paul Mauer and the Silence!! Come out for live music and hot food. Visit with your favorite farmers market vendors. Produce is abundant there are pumpkins and squash, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, beets, cabbage, gourmet cultivated mushrooms, flowers, herbs, plants, art, fresh eggs, hand and body salves, hand crafted teas, jellies and jams, organic cheeses and much more! We may be small, but we pack in the variety! Thank You Chehalis! Tuesday Market will be open through the end of October.

Join the Chehalis River Basin Land Trust for a day on by river removing invasive plant species along the Discovery Trail. For all work parties, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle. Youth under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult and all youth under 18 years of age must have a signed waiver to participate.
Coffee, Water, and Snacks will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you there!
We’re a newer club – Lewis County Rock and Gem Society. We meet second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. at Cowlitz Prairie Grange in Toledo on Jackson Hwy. We are family-oriented with a juniors program also. Bring your rock for show and tell, enjoy our monthly program, bid on something in our silent auction and bring a snack to share for break time. We have door prizes and try to go on field trips as often as we can. $10 for yearly membership for a single or $15 for a family

Your help is needed. We have removed blackberry along the trail and need to plant native shrubs to slow the return of this problem plant. All the plants are bare-root and must be put in the ground quickly. Many hands make light the work – bring your friends.
We will have hot drinks, water and snacks available. Please dress for the weather (cool and damp, with rain showers). Bring a shovel if you can and your favorite gloves. Questions? Please email office@chehalislandtrust.org.
An environmental necessity, a vital economic resource, and a cultural symbol, salmon play a fundamental role in the Pacific Northwest—but they are in trouble.
With warming oceans, environmental degradation, and lowering genetic variability, wild salmon populations are dwindling. Climatologist Nick Bond explores the past, present, and possible future conditions for salmon in our state, and sees room for optimism. He shares lessons on how local communities have accomplished important work to support salmon runs, but also takes a hard look at the realities climate change poses for this regional treasure. Explore the history, science, and story of this cherished Northwest icon.
This presentation is part of Humanities Washington’s Speakers Bureau program and sponsored by the Friends of the Centralia Timberland Library.
For Teens (ages 12-18) and Adults (age 18 and older)
