Thought about buying a handgun and don’t know what to look for? Own a handgun and not sure how to use it? Come learn the basics of handguns, how to grip them, how to use the sights, how to load and unload, how to stand and more. Come with questions and leave with answers. If you do not own a handgun, bring .22LR and/or 9mm Luger or Parabellum ammo and use one of the instructors firearms. Bring your firearm (or ammo if you do not own a firearm), the appropriate ammo for that firearm, eye/ear protection (I have extras of those too), a baseball cap and a notebook for note taking. Preregistration is required with a $30 nonrefundable deposit and $55 balance due at the door. Call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to make your reservation.

Join us for an evening of live gospel music performed by Kevin Mills & The Mark Dubbeld Family.
Kevin Mills is an accomplished singer who sang several years nationally and internationally with the group “Keepers Of The Faith”. Kevin has a beautiful bass voice and has done several solo CDs. After Kevin retired from Keepers Of The Faith, Kevin and his family settled in Rochester WA.
The Mark Dubbeld Family is from Moneta, Virginia. The performers are Mark, Janene, Elena and Britton Dubbeld. They are known for their originally penned songs and family harmony. They sing at churches and venues of every size across the United States.
Both groups have been featured singers at the National Quartet Convention (NQC) in Tennessee which is the largest southern gospel event in the US.
Winlock will be The Dubbeld’s first stop on their west-coast tour this summer. It’s a rare opportunity to get to see them in person in this part of the country and a huge bonus to get to see/hear Kevin at the same concert!
Please bring your family, friends and neighbors and come to Winlock to enjoy the concert!
Olympia Highlanders Bagpipes and Drum Corps are coming to perform our wide array of music. Band plays at 2 pm. Bring your chairs and enjoy a bit of the Highlands along the banks of the river.

Join us for a public Farm and Nursery Tour, with our founder Michael Dolan leading the way as we share with you our 20 acres of organic fruits and nuts, with a special focus on crops that ripen in the summer. Limit of 30 guests will be strictly enforced due to parking limitations; please carpool if you can. If you are purchasing a family ticket, please tell us the total number of family members attending in the note section of your order form. Out of courtesy to our farm dog, Ginger, please leave your furry friends, except service animals, at home or in your vehicle when you come to the tour.
1:30pm: TOURING! The fun starts with a tour of our sloping farm site on our rugged trails – not easy access for strollers or those with limited mobility. We will be viewing all of our crop plants – hazelnuts, chestnuts, kiwis, mulberries, blueberries, figs and more. Cultivation and propagation techniques will be discussed, as well as the specific characteristics of the varieties that do well here in the Pacific Northwest.
2:30pm: EATING! We will have a sampling of the fruits at the peak of their ripeness, with a focus on flavor, texture and nutrition. Chef John Camenzind will provide a sample plate that will tickle your taste buds with quick and easy treats.
3:00pm: LEARNING! Michael will answer questions about any other crops that caught your eye during the tour.
Live potted plants, certified organic produce, preserved foods, wine and hard cider will be available to purchase and take home as the event winds to a close.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE !
