Darke County Center for the Arts

DCCA announces Ghost Walk in June

 

Darke County Center for the Arts will present a warm weather version of their Ghost Walk on Tuesday, June 18.  A tour of Greenville featuring costumed tour guides spinning ghostly tales, the organization’s popular annual Halloween-season fundraiser will be one of the activities offered to those visiting Greenville while participating in the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure.  “Many cities use ghost walks to provide intriguing, entertaining looks at their unique history, so since we already knew how to do that, we thought this would be a fun and useful way for DCCA to cooperate with our community’s hosting of GOBA.  We realize that local citizens always enjoy this peek at the unexplained, so our event is available for everyone,”  explained DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan.

 

DCCA’s Ghost Walk is based upon Arcanum-area resident Rita Arnold’s Ghosts of Darke County books, and has been a Halloween staple for many area families for the past ten years.  Historical figures featured in the tales include Annie Oakley and General “Mad” Anthony Wayne as well as lesser known characters from Greenville’s past.  The walk lasts about an hour and a half, and requires a brisk pace through some uneven terrain and dimly lighted areas.

 

The Ghost Walk in June, which will take place rain or shine, begins at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall at 6 p.m.   In case of seriously inclement weather, the stories will be told indoors.  Tickets for the Ghost Walk cost $10, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 and are available at Ann’s Gifts and Readmore’s Hallmark in downtown Greenville. Until DCCA's 2013-2014 season website is online, tickets may be purchased online by searching for "Ghost Walk" at ticketforce.com.   Tickets will also be sold at the door.
