Darke County Center for the Arts will continue a long-standing
Halloween-season tradition when they host their annual Ghost Walk in
downtown Greenville on Friday, October 27, Saturday, October 28, and
Sunday, October 29. Based on stories collected by Arcanum-area resident
Rita Arnold which tell of local ghostly encounters, 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 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 purchased by contacting DCCA at
937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.com, or purchased online at
www.centerforarts.net.
