The Community Farmers Market of Chehalis invites you to their 13th annual Harvest Dinner celebration and fundraiser. It’s a Masquerade Ball so come in costume or as you are for an evening of farm to table food, live jazz music, dancing, and community building.

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)
