Celebrate “The
Cowboy Way” with DCCA
When Darke County Center for the Arts presents Riders in the Sky
performing their Salute to Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, at Henry
St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, November 12,
audience members will be given the opportunity to own a very special
memento of that performance which begins at 8 p.m. “Our poster
promoting the show has earned so many requests from fans hoping to buy
it that we decided to give all those attending the show the opportunity
to take it home with them,” explained Andrea Jordan, Executive Director
of DCCA. A silent auction will be held, with bids taken prior to the
show and continuing through intermission. The highest bidder will be
announced and awarded the framed and signed print at the end of the
concert.
“We first displayed this poster in our booth at the Great Darke County
Fair, and were inundated with offers to buy it on the spot;
subsequently we have had further inquiries from a large number of
people, but we needed to keep it to promote the show,” Ms. Jordan
stated. However, after the performance, and after Ranger Doug, Too
Slim, Woody Paul, and Joey the CowPolka King have added their
signatures, the large and colorful framed picture will have served its
initial purpose and can move to a new home; auction proceeds will
provide additional funds supporting DCCA's programs and services.
In addition to the tribute to Roy Rogers, Riders In the Sky will
present “Round Up at Kids Corral” for youngsters and their families in
a 2 p.m. matinee performance on Sunday, November 13. “Little cowpokes”
will hear the Riders' award-winning music from Toy Story 2 and Monsters
Inc., and be treated to the quartet's unique brand of wholesome humor
featuring audience participation as well as rope tricks. Tickets for
the Sunday matinee are $10, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at
937-547-0908, dcca@centerforarts.net, or on-line at
www.CenterForArts.net.
Additionally, a few seats are available for the Salute to Roy Rogers;
those tickets cost $30 and can also be obtained by contacting DCCA. If
any remain by showtime, tickets will be sold at the door for both shows.
