The E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center
Nearly 100 distinct settlements existed in what we now call Delaware County. Since the end of the American Revolution, Native Americans, pioneer farmers, industrialists and factory workers settled across the county in hamlets, villages and towns of all sizes. Some of these communities survived the ebb and flow of history to prosper, while others disappeared, becoming lost in the collective memory. Today, many residents would only recognize the city of Muncie and the towns of Albany, Daleville, Eaton, Gaston, Selma, and Yorktown. A few might know of villages such as Desoto, New Burlington, Smithfield, and Wheeling. Most have probably never heard of Dogtown, Gate’s Corner, Granville, and Soccum. Drawing upon years of research, Chris uncovers the stories of these lost towns in his new book, Lost Towns of Delaware County, Indiana. Books will be available for signing.

FINAL FRIDAY: BEAUTY
Local emcees introduce PechaKucha* talks to Muncie to highlight what is unique, unexpected, and inspiring in our city.

Check the Facebook event for details as activities and presenters are added to the lineup!
*PechaKucha, Japanese for "chit chat," is a concise presentation format where 20 images are timed to automatically advance every 20 seconds as a presenter talks along. Each presentation lasts only 6 minutes, 40 seconds. This is an informal and fun gathering where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, snaps—just about anything, really—in the PechaKucha format.
- Black Holes, Wormholes & the Movies - Planetarium Show 6:30pm to 7:15pm @ Charles W. Brown Planetarium 2000 W Riverside Ave
A place from which nothing can escape, not even light, is called a black hole. Once thought to be only a mathematical curiosity, astronomers now think they are real. The theory of relativity also predicts the existence of wormholes that connect different regions of the universe. Popular movies have shown black holes as places of great destruction and wormholes as a way for instantaneous travel across the galaxy. But is any of this true? Did Hollywood get it right?
Suitable for all ages 12+
Tickests are free. Seats given on a first come, first serve basis. Doors open 30 minutes before show time.
- Season of Love: Ball State Theatre and Dance Scholarship Fundraiser 7pm @ Vera Mae's Bistro 209 South Walnut Street
Come sit and enjoy dinner or just grab a drink and enjoy! This is a donation-based event that raises money for the Theatre and Dance Scholarship fund.
The Cabaret features the talented students of Ball State University's Department of Theatre and Dance!
