DCCA Recognizes
Sponsors of Upcoming Barbecue and Blues
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes sponsors of the upcoming
Barbecue and Blues fundraiser. The music for this year’s
fun-filled fundraiser event is sponsored by Matt and Angie Arnold &
George and Becky Luce, which will take place on the Greenville Public
Library lawn, on Friday, July 13.
“DCCA is fortunate to be part of a community where individuals and
local businesses help make Darke County a great place to live,” DCCA’s
Executive Director Andrea Jordan stated. The sponsorships will
help cover the cost of the entertainment allowing the ticket monies
generated from Barbecue and Blues to help offset the costs of
presenting high quality performing artists throughout DCCA’s upcoming
2018-2019 season. “Local support of fundraising events is greatly
appreciated and enables DCCA to continue encouraging cultural
enrichment in Darke County and to offer opportunities for learning and
growing through the arts,” concluded Jordan.
Gates for “Barbecue and Blues” will open at 6 p.m. Music will be
provided by the Doug Hart Band and special guest Austin “Walkin’ Cane,”
playing from 6:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.
Featured BBQ food vendors include Main Street Greenville businesses The
Coffee Pot, Merchant House, and Romer’s Catering, and local food truck
favorites Kona Ice and Nacho Pig; wine will be for sale as well as
micro brews from Moeller Brew Barn.
DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins says that "Barbecue and
Blues has become an extremely popular summertime event. This is a great
opportunity to celebrate the season with lively, listenable music in a
lovely setting,” The proceeds from Barbecue and Blues support
DCCA programming, helping make possible DCCA's Arts In Education
program as well as the Family Theatre Series and a summer theatre
residency by Missoula Children's Theatre. “Without fundraisers such as
these, DCCA could not provide AIE at no charge to students, Family
Theatre tickets for $5, or hands-on theatre experience with MCT at no
cost to participants. DCCA is grateful to the Greenville Public Library
for hosting this fantastic event,” Rawlins concluded.
Additional sponsors of the event include Merry Lee Cross and Shaun
Hayes of BHHS Pro Realty and Matt & Mindy Steyer. Other sponsors
are Erwin Brothers, Rumpke, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund.
Proceeds from “Barbecue and Blues” support DCCA programming, helping
make possible DCCA's Arts In Education program as well as the Family
Theatre Series and a summer theatre residency by Missoula Children's
Theatre.
Tickets for the event are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and
under; food and drink are not included in the ticket price. A limited
number of reserved tables are available for purchase. In case of
inclement weather, “Barbecue and Blues” will move inside Henry St.
Clair Memorial Hall. Although tickets will be available at the gate,
DCCA strongly recommends purchasing them in advance. Tickets &
tables can be purchased by contacting the DCCA office at 937-547-0908.
Tickets are also on sale at Greenville Public Library, Readmore's
