DCCA Ghost Walk
returns to downtown Greenville
Darke County Center for the Arts will continue a long-standing
Halloween-season tradition when they host their eleventh annual Ghost
Walk in Downtown Greenville on Friday, October 24, Saturday, October
25, and Sunday October 26. Based on stories collected by Arcanum
resident Rita Arnold which reveal local encounters with the unknown or
unexplained, walks will begin at St. Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m.
and last for about an hour and a half. “This is a great way for people
of all ages to celebrate the season, learn a little local history, and
have a lot of fun,” said Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director.
According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, the walking tour
will take participants to familiar sites where they will hear
surprising tales of ghostly encounters. “The stories can give you
chills, but are still not too scary for children old enough to enjoy a
long walk in the dark,” Ms. Jordan explained. She also reminds
potential Ghost Walk participants that some tour sites include uneven
terrain and may be located in dimly lighted areas. Also, as in years
past, Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather conditions; if
seriously inclement weather occurs, the stories will be told indoors.
Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 Craft Club will be serving refreshments
at St. Clair Memorial Hall before and after the event. Also, Mrs.
Arnold’s Ghosts of Darke County books will be offered for sale. Tickets
for the Ghost Walk cost $10, and can be purchased at 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 may be
reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.com,
or purchased online at www.centerforarts.net.
