DCCA announces tour guides and actors for Ghost Walk in June 

While Darke County Center for the Arts' “Ghost Walk in June” is a new addition to the arts organization's schedule, the list of tour guides and actors are familiar names for local fans of the event. Michael Bitner, Marilyn Delk, Tim Nealeigh, and Keith Rawlins will share stories of the unknown while they lead “Ghost Walk” participants through downtown Greenville, stopping at sites where Jim Bruney, Larry Delk, Natalie House, Becci Miller, Katheleen Nealeigh, and Mitch and Chloe Rawlins will spin more ghostly tales which leave much unexplained. The “Ghost Walk in June” will leave from Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall, 215 West Fourth Street, Greenville at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 18. 

DCCA's Ghost Walk, based upon Arcanum-area resident Rita Arnold's Ghosts of Darke County books, has been a local Halloween-season staple for the past ten years. The warm weather version was added as an activity for participants in the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, but is open to one and all. “Ghost Walk stories are fun and spooky ways of sharing some of the cultural history of our community; a couple of the tales may be a little gruesome, but none are too scary for families to enjoy together,” explained DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. The walk lasts about an hour and a half, and requires a brisk pace over some uneven terrain. 

The “Ghost Walk in June” will take place rain or shine; in case of seriously inclement weather, the stories will be told indoors. Tickets for the Ghost Walk cost $10, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908or dcca@centerforrts.net. Tickets are also available at Ann's Gifts and Readmore's Hallmark in downtown Greenville, and will be sold at the door.
