Come to the Athena for a special, pet-friendly screening event – it’s sure to be a dog-gone blast!
Wait…I can bring my dog to the Athena Cinema to watch a movie??! In a word…YES!!
Join us on Saturday, October 12th at 1:00 p.m. for a one-time screening of the classic canine comedy from Christopher Guest – BEST IN SHOW!
This event will be a fundraiser for the Athens County Friends of the Shelter Dogs organization. So, bring your own furry friend or simply come and hang out with adoptable dogs from the Athens County Dog Shelter…and, maybe think about taking one home.

Every dog can feel like Best in Show with their very own red carpet photo! During the first hour of the event, we’ll have a photographer standing by to shoot portrait photos of you and your pet on the red carpet. These keepsakes will be available for purchase for $5.
We’ll also have homemade doggie treats for your furry friends!
