DCCA announces
Ghost Walk Tour Guides and Actors
Darke County Center for the Arts' thirteenth annual Ghost Walk on
Friday, October 28, Saturday, October 29, and Sunday, October 30 will
feature costumed tour guides who 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, Tim Nealeigh, and Keith Rawlins. John Burkett, Karen
Burkett, Shanna Camacho, Nick Colby, Larry Delk, Maxwell Jordan,
Katheleen Nealeigh, and Jan Roestamadji will share spooky stories at
some of the sites visited on the tour. The Ghost Walk will lead from
St. Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. and last at least an hour and a
half each night. Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 Craft Club will be
serving refreshments at Memorial Hall before and after the event.
“I can't think of a better way to celebrate Halloween weekend than by
taking a fun, spooky, and informative walk through downtown
Greenville,” said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “The stories
can give you the chills, but are not too scary for children old enough
to enjoy a long walk in the dark,” Ms. Jordan continued. 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.
Ms. Jordan also reminds potential Ghost Walk participants that some
tour sites include uneven terrain and may be located in dimly lighted
areas. As in years past, Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather
conditions; if seriously inclement weather occurs, the stories will be
told indoors.
Tickets for 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.net or purchased online at
www.centerforarts.net.
