“The Avengers” coming to Edison Campus 

Edison Community College will wrap up its exciting summer activities schedule on Friday, Aug. 17, and Saturday, Aug. 18, with a showing of the one of the season’s biggest blockbuster movie, “The Avengers,” at the Piqua Campus. 

The PG-13 rated movie will make its first run on Friday at 1 p.m. in the Robinson Theater at the Piqua Campus. On Saturday, the show will move outdoors to the campus courtyard for a second showing starting at 8 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs for Saturday’s outdoor show. In the event of rain, the movie will be moved inside to the theater. 

Admission to the movie is $1, and popcorn will be provided free of charge. In addition, door prizes will be given out throughout the evening. Those attending this year’s opening day of the Miami County Fair can receive a free ticket to the movie by stopping by the Edison tent located on the fairground’s midway on Friday, Aug. 10, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

“We had a terrific response with our last movie, “The Hunger Games,” and we’re very excited to bring another big summer blockbuster to campus before the start of our fall semester,” said Chip Hare, director of student life and athletics. “This event gives us the opportunity to reach out to not only our students at Edison, but also to the community at large. We are thrilled to have the Avengers invade Edison!” 

“The Avengers” brings together some of the comic book world’s biggest names including Captain America, The Hulk and Iron Man in a special-effects packed blockbuster that will amaze moviegoers. This will be one of the last chances to see the movie on the big screen before it heads to DVD and Blu-Ray at the end of September. 

From concerts and movies to championship athletics and nationally recognized speakers, Edison Community College works diligently to bring entertaining and enlightening events to campus. For more information on what’s coming to campus, visit www.edisonohio.edu.
