Lipizzaner Stallions
The “World Famous” Lipizzaner Stallions are coming to the SouthWest Washington Fairgrounds at the border of Centralia and Chehalis. The Tour Lewis County website states:
“The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history and culture are known worldwide. Harkening back to time when the horse was a symbol of grace and majesty, the Lipizzaner Stallions are truly a great experience to be enjoyed by the entire family. One does not need to be a horse lover to enjoy the spectacular show.”
2007 represents the 37th Anniversary season of The Lipizzaner Stallions. All new music, choreography and routines have been incorporated in this anniversary edition with a major emphasis on the historical background and foundation of the Lipizzaner breed, from its original breeding and use as a horse of war to a horse of nobility and aristocracy to a living form of equestrian art. The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, in its presentation of Lipizzans, and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna.

Downtown Centralia
Head on down to the Olympic Club in downtown Centralia on Wednesday’s where you can watch a movie, grab a burger and a beer, and relax. Best of all, it’s only $10. Sorry kids, you have to stay at home for this event. The BB&M is for those of us 21 and older.
The Olympic Club Theater is unlike any other movie theater that you have been in. First of all, you can order a glass of Edgefield Wine or Terminator Stout, chow down on a pizza, or just stick with the usual movie snacks: popcorn and candy. Secondly, the theater is arranged for informal movie watching with overstuffed velvet couches and chairs with side tables to hold those adult beverages.

The Centralia/Chehalis area has two major golf courses; Riverside Golf Course and Newaukum Valley Golf Course.
Riverside Golf Course
The Riverside Golf Course located in Chehalis WA near the airport has undergone some major changes for this season. New local owners have come in and have helped restore this course as the premier golf course in the area. The 110 acre oasis that borders the Chehalis River was established in 1927 and has been a favorite for local golfers for the last 80 years.
The new owners, Mitch McCullough and Darrel Sorenson are dedicated to improving the golfing experience at Riverside by improving the aesthetics and playability of the course, creating a welcoming clubhouse and providing great customer service. Riverside Golf Course is able to accommodate large groups and are looking to host more tournaments. The course is challenging and beautiful. So, grab the clubs and head on down to the course. Better grab a couple of extra balls for the 13th. Everyone’s been known to sink a ball or two trying to get over the pond!
Newaukum Valley Golf Course
The Newaukum Valley Golf Course, located in South Chehalis, has also undergone some improvements lately. The West 9 has just had a facelift and driving range added to the challenging par 33. Newaukum boast 27 holes thru their West, South, and East links. The course is alittle more open and great for those that can like to drive.
Head down to the course on Tuesdays for their infamous Tightwad Tuesdays. For under $20 bucks you can golf all day! Really, is there anything better. If you don’t have all day, 18 holes is only $15. It doesn’t look like the website has been updated in awhile, so give them a call for information at 360.748.0461.
Map
Feel free to add comments regarding your experience with either Riverside or Newaukum Valley Golf Courses.

8-under Summer Tournament Team
A team of 8 and under players from the Centralia Little League ranks has formed a summer team to play against competition from other areas in Southwest Washington. The team has been practicing for the last month to get ready for their first tournament in Castle Rock on the weekend of June 14-17. Coaching the team is Chris Thomas and James Aliff, who both coached for the Centralia Little League this year.
The team is looking for some help from the community. In order to keep costs down for the parents of the handpicked tournament team, the coaches and parents are looking for sponsorship and support. The contributions will go towards tournament fees, uniforms, and team equipment. Centralia:live has created a widget on the side to let you support the team by giving donations via PayPal. You can also add this widget to your site by going to the Summer League Chipin page.
Please consider helping to strengthen baseball in the Centralia area by donating. For your contribution, the team will have your name put on a team banner that will be displayed at all games.
The tournament schedule at this time is:
Castle Rock June 14-17
Longview June 22-24
Spanaway June 29-July 1
Battle Ground July 28-29
The team hopes to add two more tournaments to their July schedule. Help support these future MLB players. Contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
