This Wednesday, October 27th, at 7PM, the Farmville Community Arts Council will host a special version of the popular Ghost Walk for a special audience.
If you are interested in attending the Ghost Walk but have been apprehensive because of the one-mile walk, this is for you!
The ghosts will be making appearances at the Gazebo on the Town Commons in Farmville.
Admission is $10 on site prior to the performance.
There will be ushers to help escort you between your vehicle and seats at the Gazebo.
Seating may be limited, so feel free to bring your favorite chair in reserve.
At seven o’clock sharp, ghosts will begin showing up to share their stories with you.
This is not for the faint hearted!
We are excited about bringing this event to folks who otherwise would not be able to share in the Ghost Walk.
But, beware! Our ghastly crew will be coming to you!

The following email was sent to members and friends on March 12, 2020:
Dear FCAC Members and Friends:
The situation regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve rapidly. We want to assure you that the FCAC Board prioritizes the health and safety of our Patrons, Friends, Artists, Volunteers and Other Workers. We all share a reasonable concern of the potential spread of the virus at any large gathering and hope to minimize the risks of such an occurrence in our community.
Please take time to review information and recommendations provided by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services https://www.NCDHHS.gov and the Centers for Disease Control cdc.gov.How can we limit the spread of this virus at a theater event?
An experienced cleaning service will regularly clean the Arts Council theater before and after events. We will work to maintain high standards in cleaning and disinfecting high-touch, high-traffic areas.
We will provide refunds for unused tickets resulting from heightened concerns about the virus.
Are other measures needed?
Currently, the Pitt County Public Health Dept is not recommending a more rigorous social distancing for community events, e.g. closing the Arts Council theater or cancelling/postponing scheduled events. We will continue to monitor this situation.
We have no specific plans to postpone or cancel any scheduled events at this time. If this becomes necessary, we will place information regarding postponements, cancellations and / or associated refunds on our answering machine (252-753-3832), on our website, www.farmville-arts.org and on our Facebook page FARMVILLE COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL.
Like you, the Farmville Community Arts Council is taking this public health concern seriously as we continue our commitment to bring the arts to everyone.
Best regards,
Board of DirectorsFarmville Community Arts Council
