DARKE COUNTY – Set your sights inside Garst Museum during the Gathering at Garst outdoor festival. Annie Oakley enthusiasts can hold Annie’s 1910 J. Stevens .22-caliber deluxe target rifle with a Scheutzen butt. This event is again offered by the Annie Oakley Center Foundation.
It will be held from 12 p.m.–6 p.m. on Saturday, July 25 and 12 p.m.–3 p.m. on Sunday, July 26. As a fundraiser for the Annie Oakley Center Foundation, the cost is $10 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. Additionally, if you bundle holding the gun with touring the Garst Museum, there is a $2 discount on museum admission. There is no charge for the Gathering at Garst event and re-enactment outside Garst, sponsored by the Darke County Parks.
Annie Oakley is a legend who lives on, and you can personally connect with history’s most famous “sure shot.” Have your picture taken so you can impress your family and friends when you tell them that you held one of Annie Oakley’s authentic guns in your hands.
Experience the extraordinary moment and keep the memory for a lifetime!
