ST. PAUL, MN – All little ghosts and ghouls are invited to celebrate Halloween at the Governor’s Residence on Wednesday, October 31st – if they dare (1006 Summit Avenue, St. Paul). The gates of the Governor’s Residence will be open from 5:00–7:00pm. 

 

“Welcoming Minnesotans to the Governor’s Residence at Halloween has been one of my favorite events as Governor,” said Governor Dayton, who is recovering from back surgeries at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. “While I will not be able to hand out candy personally this year, I invite kids and families from across our state to visit the Governor’s Residence for Halloween treats.”

 

Pearson’s Candy Company will donate a variety of candy bars; Mars Inc. will donate M&M’s; and Henke Foods will donate both Annie B’s caramels and B.T. McElrath Chocolatier chocolates to be handed out to trick-or-treaters. There will also hot apple cider donated by the Pine Tree Apple Orchard in White Bear Lake, and apples from several Minnesota apple orchards. The 1006 Summit Avenue Society will also be donating glow sticks and candy.   

 

The festive outdoor décor for the front entry way of the Governor’s Residence will be done by Heidi’s Lifestyle Gardens and gifted from the 1006 Summit Avenue Society.
