Fish Tank Added to Summerfest Activities
Summerfest, Centralia’s Fourth of July celebration, has a new addition this year.
This year with low water levels in Borst Lake, the organizing committee is bringing in a large fish tank stocked with 300 fish and equipped with poles.
Like always, Fort Borst Park will be filled with free entertainment and games for kids and adults alike. Along with trolley rides, an egg toss, bubblegum blowing, and frisbee throws, the games are staggered throughout the afternoon and will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A breakfast sponsored by Sierra Pacific will kick off the festivities at 7 a.m. and will provide a free breakfast of all you can eat pancakes and sausage.
This year about 30 cars are signed up to participate in the destruction derby, which will take place at 7 p.m. at the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds.
Another popular activity is the SWAT challenge. The event allows people to take the Centralia Police Department entry-level SWAT team exam. At the same time, the 10th annual “I Ran From the Cops” 8K or 1.5 mile health walk will take place.
A parade will start at 4 p.m. in downtown Centralia under the sponsorship of Windermere Real Estate.
Half of the proceeds provided by Windermere will help support the parade, while the other half will go toward the restoration efforts at the Fox Theatre in downtown Centralia.
Steve Koreis-MacLeod, president of the Centralia Downtown Association, said there could be anywhere from 90 to 110 units in the parade.
This year’s theme is “Freedom is Not Free” and the parade will include numerous military entries and at least two equestrian entries.
Fred and Laura Rider, the owners of the Lewis County Destruction Derby Association, and Tim and Maryann Browning will be the grand marshals of the parade. Both were chosen because the couples have helped with Summerfest in one capacity or another for over 30 years.
