Zechar Bailey Sponsors DCCA BBQ & Blues
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Zechar Bailey Funeral Home
for their sponsorship of the recent annual fun-filled fundraiser
“Barbecue and Blues,” held on Friday, July 12 on the spacious lawn at
the Greenville Public Library. DCCA’s Executive Director Andrea Jordan
stated, “Darke County Center for the Arts is grateful for the
generosity of sponsors, like Zechar Bailey Funeral Home, who value and
are willing to support the arts in our community.”
The recent event saw record attendance bringing in over 700 people who
enjoyed music provided by the Eric Jerardi Band and special guest
Austin “Walkin’ Cane,” as well as food offering from featured BBQ food
vendors The Merchant House, Romer’s Catering, Nacho Pig and The
Homestead Spud. DCCA will be sold an expanded offering of wine, as well
as micro brews from Moeller Brew Barn with proceeds going to the arts
in Darke County.
DCCA Artistic Director David Warner says that "Barbecue and Blues has
become an extremely popular summertime event. This is a great
opportunity to celebrate the season with lively, listenable music in a
lovely setting,” The proceeds from Barbecue and Blues support
DCCA programming, helping make possible DCCA's Arts In Education
program as well as the Family Theatre Series and a summer theatre
residency by Missoula Children's Theatre. “Without fundraisers such as
these, DCCA could not provide AIE at no charge to students, Family
Theatre tickets for $5, or hands-on theatre experience with MCT at no
cost to participants. DCCA is grateful to the Greenville Public Library
for hosting this fantastic event,” Warner concluded.
Additional sponsors of the event include Matt and Angie Arnold,
George and Becky Luce, Ben and Gail Overholser and Merry Lee Cross
& Shaun Hayes of BHHS Pro Realty. Other sponsors are Matt &
Mindy Steyer, Erwin Brothers, Rumpke, Sue Bowman of HER Realtors, and
the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund. Proceeds from “Barbecue and
Blues” support DCCA programming, helping make possible DCCA's Arts In
Education program as well as the Family Theatre Series and a summer
theatre residency by Missoula Children's Theatre.
Darke County Center for the Arts presents and promotes performing and
fine arts encouraging cultural enrichment. For more information about
