Southwest Washington Scholastic Chess Championships @ Centralia College

Southwest Washington Scholastic Chess Championships @ Centralia College

The Southwest Washington Scholastic Chess Championships are set to be held on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023 at Centralia College. Grays Harbor middle and high school students of all skill levels are invited to participate.

The high school championship will include both team and individual chess scoring. Being a Regional Championship, winning high school teams will qualify to play in the 57th annual Washington State High School Chess Team Championships, which will be held on March 3-4 at Stanwood High School.

In the past, high school teams would qualify for the state championship by winning their local high school chess league. Last March, regional qualifying tournaments were introduced to provide a direct path to the state championships for areas without a high school chess league, such as Grays Harbor County. Students wishing to play must reside in western Washington, south and west of King County.

Entry into the tournaments is free, courtesy of non-profits Washington High School Chess Association and Chess Enrichment Association. Advance registration is required.

Cosmopolis Veteran Banner Presentation @ Cosmopolis City Hall
May 29 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

The City of Cosmopolis is inviting the public to join us on Memorial Day as we hold
a Dedication Ceremony for a series of memorial banners to honor military
veterans.
For over 150 years, Memorial Day has served as a day to honor and mourn military
personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces.
The first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868, but
honoring our veterans has always been a standing practice since the founding of
our nation.
In coordination with Aberdeen VFW Post & Auxiliary 224, the City will be holding
a ceremony outside of City Hall starting at 2:00 PM on Monday, May 29, 2023 to
unveil and dedicate these new banners. The city will be installing the banners on
light poles along First Street/US 101 ahead of the dedication.
City Administrator Darrin Raines stated, ““We are honored to be able to help
recognize the sacrifice and service of our fallen heroes that will be displayed on
these banners. This annual display of the memorial banners is an event that we
hope can grow into our neighboring communities.”
The event will feature speakers including Jim Daly, representing the VFW,
alongside local officials.
Any members of the public are invited to attend.

Westport’s famous Ocosta Booster Club Crab Feed is legendary! The 2024 extravaganza is Saturday, March 9 from noon to 6pm. This over-the-top fundraiser began in 1993. All proceeds benefit scholarships and programs for Ocosta School District students from Westport, Grayland, North Cove and Tokeland, Washington.
Westport, arguably Washington’s best beach community, is famous for many things. Yet, this annual event is one of the most popular drawing visitors from around the state to an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of Dungeness crab, cocktail sauce, spaghetti, garlic bread, and coleslaw. Beer, wine, cocktails, and sodas are sold separately.  
Event organizers said, “Our generous fishing families donate over 3000 pounds of fresh local Dungeness Crab.” This level of community support with a cadre of volunteers make this event worth staying the weekend in Unforgettable Grays Harbor County.
All ages are invited to attend this epic dinner at the Ocosta Rec Hall located at 45 Ocosta 6th Street. Although this is an Aberdeen address, the rec hall is located between Westport and Aberdeen, just a few blocks off State Route 105. 

Guests ages 13 and up can enjoy this feast for $40, it is $20 for those ages 6 to 12, kids age five and under are free. Tickets are available only at the door. The Booster Club accepts cash and credit cards.
