From September 12th to September 15th, 2024, the Wall That Heals Ohio event drew crowds to Ostrander and Havener Park in Delaware offering a powerful opportunity for attendees to honor and reflect on the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans. An escort passed through the village, allowing the community to show their support and catch a glimpse of the Wall, which later welcomed thousands at its location in the Havener Park.

Please read more about the event in our blog post here.

On Thursday, September 5th, 2024, the annual fall fundraising event organized by the OCA was held at Leed’s Farm. It was a resounding success – more money was raised than the previous year. The funds go towards our lovely 4th of July firework display. Thank you to all who attended in support of our community!
