Show Event's Categories on Page
It would be nice if on an individual event page, it displayed the category/categories the event belongs to. We have age categories for all of our events, but when we link to the event it's hard to tell what age it's for at a glance.
If we use the Min-Max age feature when creating an event, which displays the recommended age beautifully, it also adds an undesirable required question where the registrant has to tell us their age when they sign up - confusing for parents who are bringing their kid to a story time with an age range of 2-3 years old, but they're asked for their age when registering and then rejected if they say they're an adult. Could avoid using the min-max age and attendant confusion if we just show the categories an event belongs to.
I know there's an enhancement on the roadmap to make age categories a separate filter (can't wait!!) but I wasn't sure if something like this to display age on the event page would be part of it.

Previously, other events in matching categories displayed at the bottom of the individual event pages. If they were removed to reduce scrolling, the addition of a category button or something that takes up less room could help patrons find similar events. We find that the "Similarly Named Events" section doesn't accurately reflect related programs.
