The Medina and Albion business districts welcome children to dress in costume and receive candy and treats for the annual Beggar’s Night this evening.

Both downtown business districts will likely see several hundred kids dressed as super heroes, goblins and other characters.

Albion has moved up the starting time from 6 to 5 p.m. Participants are encouraged to start at 25 South Platt St. (the Albion Free Methodist Church) and then begin a downtown tour for treats.

In Medina, the event runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Children should line up in the parking lot between the Medicine Shoppe and The Print Shop on East Center Street.
