August 24, 2026 - The Rio Theatre proudly celebrated its 100th Anniversary just recently, marking a century of entertainment, memories and hometown tradition. Since opening its doors in 1926, the theater has welcomed countless guests, becoming much more that a place to watch films. It has served as a gathering place where first dates, family outings, celebration and lifelong memories have been made.
In honor of this significant milestone, we ask the community to share photographs and memories from years gone by. These special memories will be compiled into a book that will be presented to Mike and Nita.
Please send your special memories of the Rio to the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, in person or email to info@shelbycountychamber.com by September 30th.
