DCCA Ghost Walk
Raises Money for the Arts in Darke County
Darke County Center for the Arts will continue a long-standing
Halloween-season tradition when they host their twelfth annual Ghost
Walk in Downtown Greenville on Friday, October 30, Saturday, October
31, and Sunday, November 1. The much anticipated annual event
raises money to continue DCCA's mission of cultural enrichment,
supporting Arts in Education programming and presentations of
professional performing artists right here in our community.
Walks will begin at St. Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m., and last for
about an hour and a half. “DCCA thanks the local actors and community
members who volunteer their time and talents to make this event
possible,” 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 spooky interaction that leave much unexplained.
“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. Tickets for the
Ghost Walk cost $10, and are available at Greenville Public Library, as
well as at Ann’s Gifts, Readmore's Hallmark, and Darke County Visitors
Bureau Welcome Center in downtown Greenville; tickets will also be sold
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.
