I think the Columbus BOOtanical Garden's Not So Scary Halloween event sounds like a wonderful way for families to celebrate the season together. With games, crafts, magic shows, and educational programs, there is something exciting for every child. I especially love events that combine fun and learning, much like the sense of adventure I get when playing Slope Rider. The candy and costume contests make it an even more memorable experience for kids and parents alike.
Been trying out Nano Banana for AI image generation lately. You just describe what you want in plain text and it generates something — built on Gemini so the quality is decent. Handles a range of styles from realistic to anime. Useful for quick concept visuals without needing to set up anything locally.
That sounds like so much fun for the kids! A Halloween event with plants and games is a great idea. I wonder if they’ll incorporate something like Say the Word on Beat into any of the activities – that would be really cool!
