Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras Welcomes Trick-or-Treaters to State Capitol

• October 27 2023

HELENA, Mont. – Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras welcomes Montana kids and families to trick-or-treat at the State Capitol on Halloween.

The lieutenant governor will hand out treats to trick-or-treaters from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31 on the south side of the State Capitol building.

Montana State Auditor Troy Downing, Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Corrections, and the Legislative Services Division will also have treats for trick-or-treaters.

The lieutenant governor urges trick-or-treaters to be safe on Halloween, including following these safety tips:

• Avoid trick-or-treating alone and walk in groups or with a responsible adult.
• Make trick-or-treaters more visible to motorists by using a flashlight and putting reflective tape on costumes and bags.
• Be safe when crossing the street – look both ways, use crosswalks when possible, and walk, don’t run.
• Teach your children never to enter a stranger’s home or car.
• Stick to well-lit areas and approach well-lit homes.

With the governor’s residence at the corner of East Broadway Street and Carson Street in Helena closed for renovations and the governor leading a trade mission to Taiwan, the lieutenant governor is welcoming trick-or-treaters to the State Capitol.
