Hilliard, Ohio - watch out for a dashing superhero and a tiny mermaid on the prowl tonight for some candy. Pictures to come...
One of the quirky things about Ohio (along with the fact that there is no such thing as a truly public swimming pool) is that each city institutes a Beggar's Night as the official day to trick-or-treat. Even though Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, we'll be out tonight gathering candy. I'm not sure if it's because they don't want too many coflicts, but it seems like they'd want to avoid a school night. Perhaps a Buckeye game on Saturday and trick-or-treating would be too much excitement for one day so they have to spread out the fun. :)
P.S. Andy's boss gave us his tickets to Saturday's game - our first Ohio State game in The Horseshoe. Ben can't wait!
P.P.S. I think we got the tickets because they're playing New Mexico State and not another Big Ten team. Beggars can't be choosers, right? Especially not on Beggar's Night. Here's to hoping that Ben gets lots of chocolate candy (to share).

I think the reason they do it on a school night is because they think that there are drunk drivers and partying on the weekend and want to keep the kids safer. It seems like when Halloween was during the week we trick or treated on Halloween. Anyways, it is quirky though I agree.
