With
Appreciation to The Triangle Dance Club
Roger Van Frank, Director
Darke County Park District
“The Darke County Park District is thankful for all of the support they
receive in many forms from local citizens, property owners and
merchants”, stated Deb Shiverdecker, Administrative Assistant.
Just recently the Park District held their annual Prairie Days festival
with over 5,000 people attending. Prairie Days is a free family
event which combines lots of fun and learning all in one place.
Along with historical interpreters who demonstrate how life was in the
period around the late 18th century, the volunteers and staff plan
crafts, host music groups, local Civic Theater performances and a local
art exhibit and so much more for the enjoyment of the public.
For quite a few years now local property and business owner (The
Triangle Dance Club), Kelly Wilson, has allowed the Park District to
park their Prairie Days visitors in their parking areas for free.
The Park District then contracts the Greenville Transit to shuttle
people to the Prairie Days event. Park District Director, Roger
Van Frank stated, “Without this assistance the Park District would
never be able to serve such large numbers of people at this very
popular event as our parking is so limited at Shawnee Prairie
Preserve.” The Darke County Park District would like to thank
Kelly Wilson for the Triangle’s gracious donation and their long-time
continued support of the community!
