Council At Large Candidate Forum & Ice Cream Social
Join CivicLex for our Council-at-Large Forum & Ice Cream Social! This is your opportunity to talk with your At-Large candidates about the most pressing issues in Lexington.
Rather than a traditional forum where the candidates are on a stage debating one another, each candidate will be hosting their own separate conversations to allow residents to speak directly to them. This is your best chance to engage directly with these candidates as you decide who to cast your vote for in November!
To sweeten things up, Sorella's Gelato and Chocolate Holler will be providing free gelato and hot chocolate!
Be sure to reserve your spot! You can RSVP for the Forum here
Are you a non-profit or community organization wanting to partner with us on this event? Reach out to info@civiclex.org and we'll talk about how you can be a part of this event!
