S Inaugural Event,Fly Into the Stratosphere at Aero Trampoline Park Get Ready for HasCon’s Inaugural Event Get ready for HasCon, Hasbro’s premier event that will provide fans of its many brands (Transformers, My Little Pony, G.I. Joe, Dungeons and Dragons, Littlest Pet Shop, Nerf and Magic: The Gathering to name just a few), with a vast array of unique and immersive experiences from Fri, Sep 8 through Sun, Sep 10 at the Rhode Island Convention and Dunkin Donuts Centers. I communicated with Jane Ritson- Parsons, group executive for global marketing at Hasbro, to learn more about what fans can anticipate at this exciting event. Jessica Kendall Hauk: What parts of HasCon are you most excited about? Jane Ritson-Parsons: The most exciting part of this event is, quite simply, the amount of unique and immersive experiences fans can enjoy. HasCon will deliver an unprecedented fan experience with a variety of panels, presentations and interactive events for fans and families, including exciting first-look previews and panels from Hasbro’s biggest television and movie series including “Transformers: Rescue Bots,” “Littlest Pet Shop” and “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” as seen on Hasbro’s joint-venture television network Discovery Family … JKH: What are the most interesting attractions? JRP: Over the course of the planning process, we’ve made every effort to ensure every day of HasCon is jam-packed with exciting things to see and do. When guests walk into the Dunkin’ Donuts Center or Rhode Island Convention Center on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, they’ll have an opportunity to plan their days around what they love most. Magic: The Gathering players might be most excited about Magic’s 25th Anniversary party. Families with children might want to head to the Play-Doh creation zone or get ‘Ponified’ in the magical world of Equestria. Disney Princess fans might want to check out Belle’s iconic gown from Beauty and the Beast. Children between the ages of 3 and 15 can even audition for future Hasbro content – from online demonstrations of popular products to real-life TV commercials! Fans attending the event can choose to keep track of their experience by collecting stamps for their official HasCon Passport. JKH: What was the planning like for this event? JRP: From the very beginning, our goal was to create an all-encompassing event that offers plenty of new, exciting, unforgettable experiences for each and every one of our fans, and — throughout the planning process — it’s been so exciting to see those pieces come together. For the first-ever HasCon, we are featuring a wide spectrum of entertainment including actors and voice talent from our shows and movies, major athletes, popular internet personalities and award-winning musicians such as Flo Rida and Daya. As a global play and entertainment company, we believe this cross-section of talent will deliver great family-friendly entertainment to HasCon attendees of all ages. From meeting Mark Wahlberg and Stan Lee to testing out NERF Blasters in our NERF Battle Arena, we can confidently say HasCon will have something for everyone. JKH: What was your favorite Hasbro toy as a child? JRP: Monopoly Tickets and other information about HasCon are available online at hascon.hasbro.com. Fly Into the Stratosphere at Aero Trampoline Park A new trampoline park has emerged in Woonsocket, and this one will send everyone into the stratosphere, figuratively if not literally. Aero, located at 1500 Diamond Hill Rd. in the Walnut Hill Plaza, has several features that I haven’t seen at the other trampoline parks. The first of these features is a fencing area called Battle Beam, which consists of two wide beams secured over a huge pit of foam. Armed with foam faux weapons that vaguely resemble swords, two people stand on a beam and try to knock each off into the pit. I figured I didn’t stand a chance of winning a fencing match against anyone, ever, but when I took my daughter and six of her fifth-grade friends to Aero on a glow-in-the-dark Sunday night, they loved it. In addition to Battle Beam and the standard huge trampoline divided into squares for individual people, Aero also has two other foam pits. One of them is beneath a 6-foot-high platform, from which you can leap, jump or bellyflop into the foam below. The other is adjacent to a large trampoline that is separate from the main area, from which you can jump or flip directly into the pit. My crew loved the platform; they looked positively gleeful when they spotted it, and all seven of them took a number of jumps into the foam below. The rock wall isn’t open yet, but the slacklines are. Unobtrusive and several steps away from the main jumping area, two slacklines allow participants to practice what appears to resemble tightrope-walking a mere two feet off the floor. The slacklines are about an inch-and-a-half wide and are a great alternative to jumping if you need to lower your heart rate for a while, (or if you’re considering a stint as an acrobat). And then there’s the Wipeout Machine. Picture the hand of an analogue clock moving smoothly from one number to the next at a rate significantly faster than one second at a time; now, make the hand an enormous foam arm and the numbers trampoline squares with people jumping on them. As the arm comes around and passes your square, you have to either jump over it or duck under it. The good news is that if you fail to do either on time, it doesn’t hurt when you get wiped out. The main jumping area has the usual squares and slides (where the trampoline anchors to the wall), but Aero’s also has two long rectangles, which are called tumble tracks in gymnastics lingo. Gymnasts use tumble tracks to practice floor and vault routines. The space afforded by the longer track (as opposed to a square) allows whoever is on it to get a running start before hurling his or her body into the air. I know this because my daughter is a gymnast, and she was thrilled to discover the running tracks at Aero. Apparently a tumble track for a gymnast is similar to an amplifier for a musician; it takes the whole experience up several notches. Conveniently, there are virtually no walls in Aero’s 40,000 square-foot space. See-through nets and half- walls delineate the various areas, including the main jumping pad, Battle Beam, the foam pits, the rockwall, the dodgeball and toddler courts and the Wipeout Machine. This means that if you bring seven kids with you – or 17 or 27 — you can see all of them all the time, even on Sunday glow nights. (The textured socks required for jumping glow in the dark, and there are glow-in-the-dark tee-shirts available for purchase). The entire facility is very clean, with a section of tables and chairs for non-jumpers, as well as a small arcade. Best of all, I asked the young woman who checked us in about fitness classes, and she said they’re coming soon. I hope no one thought that trampoline parks are just for kids; my friends and I are semi-regulars on the local trampoline scene, and we have found that an hour of jumping burns approximately one million calories. We comprise a wide range of athletic ability (or lack thereof), shapes, sizes and ages, and we always have a great time. It’s so much fun that our kids can sense our enthusiasm and aren’t even embarrassed by our jumping. Aero Trampoline Park, 1500 Diamond Hill Rd. Woonsocket. 401-762-2000; aerotrampolineparkri.com Family Date Night at La Familia Date night and family night are no longer mutually exclusive. La Familia, located at 1666 Diamond Hill Rd. in Cumberland and at 431 Winthrop St. in Taunton, Mass, provides an elegant setting with a casual vibe where the whole family can feast on delicious, reasonably priced food. The menu features a combination of Italian and Portuguese-inspired cuisine with classics such as Fettuccini Bolognese and Linguini Alla Vongole, as well as a number of innovative dishes, including Chipotle Maple Glaze Salmon and Chicken and Kale Ravioli. What makes La Familia unique is its casual elegance. I recently enjoyed a spectacular dinner out with my own familia at the Cumberland location. We were seated in the main dining room, which features a fireplace, several large windows, a few simple mirrors and plants, and tables with white tablecloths topped with butcher paper. That simple combination — white tablecloths and butcher paper — creates an elegant yet playful mood. The entire room is beautifully decorated, but you can’t help doodling on the butcher paper after you order if you happen to have a pen. There are two other rooms as well, one of which features a stunning bar shaped like a square, but we loved our table in the main room. It was a busy Sunday night; we hadn’t made a reservation and we didn’t have to wait for a table, but it felt more like a Saturday evening based on the number of people — people that included couples and groups of all ages and a number of school-aged children (all of whom were well-behaved). As soon as we were seated, our water glasses were filled and a bread basket was delivered by two friendly server assistants. Our waiter appeared shortly thereafter, recited two appetizer and five dinner specials flawlessly, and returned promptly with our drinks.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that each of Hasbro and eOne is an enterprise; that these enterprises have ceased to be distinct as a result of the Merger; and that the turnover test is met.

In addition, the Parties overlap in the supply of film, television and digital (FTD) content, as well as gaming apps, based on their own CCBs in the UK. However, the CMA found that the Merger does not, prima facie, give rise to competition concerns in relation to the supply of FTD and gaming apps.
