DCCA announces Ghost Walk tour guides and actors

Darke County Center for the Arts tenth annual Ghost Walk will feature costumed tour guides who will lead participants to haunted sites in downtown Greenville as well as actors who will portray characters involved in the ghostly tales. Tour guides include Michael Bitner, Marilyn Delk, Keith Rawlins, and Becci Miller. Jim Bruney, John and Karen Burkett, Shanna Camacho, Larry Delk, Michelle Fannin, Deirdre Grennan, Natalie House, Chloe and Mitchell Rawlins, and Cassidy York will share spooky stories at some of the spots visited on the tour. The Ghost Walk will leave from Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on Friday, October 25, Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27; the event begins at 7:30 p.m.

A new addition to the Ghost Walk will be a Tenth Anniversary Scavenger Hunt in which participants can win free tickets to upcoming DCCA events; drawings will be held each night. As in past years, Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather conditions; if seriously inclement weather occurs, all of the stories will be told indoors.

The stories told during the Ghost Walk are based on tales collected by Arcanum-area resident Rita Arnold who has published several volumes recounting spooky happenings within Darke County and beyond. Her books will be available for purchase at Memorial Hall prior to and following the Ghost Walk tours. Additionally, Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 Craft Club will be serving refreshments at Memorial Hall before and after the event.

Ghost Walk tickets cost $10, and can be purchased at DCCA's office located on the third floor of Greenville Public Library, as well as at Ann's Gifts and Readmore's Hallmark in downtown Greenville; tickets will also be available at the door. Tickets can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or purchased on line at www.centerforarts.net.
