Trick-or-treat at the Illinois Governor’s Mansion

SPRINGFIELD – Ghosts, goblins and the best dressed Trick-or-treaters today visited the Governor’s Mansion. Professor McGonagall, also known as First Lady Diana Rauner, greeted children and handed out treats with Dragon (Sugar) and Dobby the Elf (Stella), from Harry Potter. The Illinois Association of Wholesale Distributors provided the Halloween treats.

The children also had the chance to see the Great Pumpkin Display. Pumpkins were courtesy of The Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur, Illinois.

“Stella, Sugar and I are excited to welcome trick-or-treaters to the Mansion this year, our first Halloween celebration since the Mansion’s grand re-opening this summer,” said the first lady and the chair of the Illinois Governor’s Mansion Association, a not-for-profit organization.  “We enjoyed seeing all the children’s costumes and sharing in the capital city’s Halloween festivities.”
