DCCA announces
Ghost Walk Tour Guides and Actors
Darke County Center for the Arts' annual Ghost Walk, a fundraiser
celebrating the Halloween season, will take place on Friday, October
27, Saturday, October 28, and Sunday, October 29. Costumed tour guides
will lead participants to numerous haunted sites in downtown
Greenville, including several stops where actors will portray
characters involved in the ghostly tales. Tour guides include Michael
Bitner, Marilyn Delk, Keith Rawlins, Jaime Stocksdale, and David
Warner. John Burkett, Karen Burkett, Shanna Camacho, Jana Deeter, Larry
Delk, Kianna Dishman, Maxwell Jordan, Nick Kolb, Jan Roestamadji, and
Heather Voisard are the actors who will share spooky stories at some of
the spots visited on the tour. The Ghost Walk will leave from Henry St.
Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. each evening, and last at least an
hour and a half. 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 in downtown Greenville,”
said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “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 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 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.
