Local Couples
Sponsor DCCA Barbecue & Blues
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes local couples for their
sponsorship of the annual Barbecue and Blues fundraiser. This
year’s event is sponsored by Matt & Angie Arnold, Tom &
Jennifer Bish, George & Becky Luce and Dr. Robert & Jean McLear
and will take place at Turtle Creek Golf Course, 6545 St. Rt. 36 E.,
Greenville, Ohio, on Friday, July 17 at 6:30 PM; this outdoor event is
casual with great food, drinks, and music!
“DCCA is fortunate to be part of a community where individuals help
make Darke County a great place to live,” DCCA’s Executive Director
Andrea Jordan stated. The sponsorships will 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 2015-2016 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.
Erwin Brothers will be providing the stage for the evening and Turtle
Creek will have a special selection menu of BBQ fare and drinks for
purchase, including BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, fried chicken,
hamburgers, and hot dogs, plus delicious sides. Dessert and a specialty
summer bar drink will also be available. As well as providing a
perfect setting for an enjoyable outdoor concert, featuring music by
and the Doug Hart Band. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins, band-leader Doug Hart is a relentless live performer. “You can
feel the passion in his guitar playing, and hear the soul in his voice
as he blends his blues and rock influences into a unique sound,”
Rawlins stated. The Doug Hart Band, which also includes bassist Mike
Hausfeld, drummer Keith Cozart, and keyboardist Mike Jordan,
incorporates many blues standards into their show along with Doug's
original compositions. The music begins at 6:30 p.m. with local
musicians The Green DeVilles.
In case of inclement weather, Barbecue and Blues will move into Turtle
Creek's clubhouse. Although tickets will be available at the gate, DCCA
strongly recommends purchasing tickets in advance. Tickets are
available for purchase at Turtle Creek Golf Course, through the DCCA
office, Readmore's Hallmark, and the Greenville public Library and
