What's a gorilla's favorite holiday? Halloween, of course. Well, it is if they live at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden.
The zoo kicked off the hall-'zoo'-ween season late last week with its annual pumpkin party for a group of gorillas. Each of the primates took part in a modified trick-or-treat session around their exhibit in search of "gorill-a-lanterns," each filled with their favorite treats.There weren't any snickers bars or tootsie pops to snack on, though instead they feasted on granola, raisins, sunflower seeds, peanuts, grapes, popcorn and apples.
The Cleveland Indians are taking some of their seats and selling them.
And although it's not happening during an actual game -the team is offering about 200 mounted pairs of green seats at their team shop in the ballpark. Each pair costs $600. This comes as renovations get underway to revamp roughly 7,000 little used seats into more standing-room areas and social spaces at the stadium. Renovations are expected to be completed prior to opening day next year.
"I'll be back". The famous warning from the body builder, turned actor, turned governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the movie terminator rang true this week as he came back to Columbus for the rededication of his bronze likeness in its new home, the greater Columbus convention center.
In 1989, the former California governor and fitness advocate started an athletic and fitness competition, the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, with the city's sports promoter Jim Lorimer. And during Tuesday's ceremony he proclaimed that the festival would always take place in Ohio's capital. State and city leaders praised the Arnold Sports Festival for the amount of visitors and revenue it's brought to Columbus over the years, including the 175,000 visitors it brought in for the event last year.
