The inaugural OHCTP event held in August at Harris Park was a success. Please click on the link below to read an article about the event.

The OHCTP is an idea born out of a need for the local community to remain connected and engaged through an ongoing series of events designed to foster conversation, influence growth, gather and share resources and to inspire action. Each event is a chance for the entire community to fellowship and to get together. The OHCTP events are planned for various locations throughout the city, with all event being scheduled months apart.

OHCTP has a goal to identify local “Influencers” to join the project and through OHCTP, help regenerate traditions and rituals in the community which keep us all together, like:

  • Recognizing Elders & Remembering Ancestors

  • Recognizing Community Achievements & Life Moments

  • Reestablish Law Enforcement & Community Connections

  • Foster Church & Community Connections

  • Reconnecting & Fellowship Over A Meal.

Come see old friends and people that you have not seen in years. Sit around and talk, laugh and share. Join in the fun of the evening which includes free food, games, music, stories, vendors with free community resources and a unique day of celebrating togetherness. There will also be local community leaders in attendance for you to meet in person.

Sponsors for the November 2nd OHCTP event include:

  • Advocate Family Law

  • The Hargrave Foundation

  • Smoke & Oak

  • Anything For Our Youth Group

  • Centric Technology

  • Davidson Local (Media Sponsor)

  • Arts Davidson County

Each OHCTP event is made possible and will continue through the efforts and support of the Lexington community.
