Who hasn't always wanted a Guinness World Record? Well Vermont – here's our chance! On August 10th, at 4:00pm in the Middlebury Memorial Sports Center, we will attempt to break the World Record for "Most Dogs to Attend a Film Screening." Local filmmaker Andy Knight Mitchell will premiere his latest film, Inside the Mind of a Dog – narrated by Rob Lowe and released on Netflix August 9th. Dogs are encouraged to attend this FREE screening. If 220 or more dogs attend with their owner, the town of Middlebury will be honored with an official Guinness Book World Record.

Owners and their pooches can help make history, put Middlebury in the record book, and have an awesome time doing it!

Registration is quick and easy – just a photo and a few questions for owners. Complete rules are listed below. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRE-REGISTRATION online before the event, but it can also be done at the door. Pre-Registration does come with benefits, including preferred seating, free popcorn, doggy treats, and other fun giveaways. Licensed vet and emergency pet care will be on site.
