*First Lady Melania Trump Announces Halloween at the White House 2017*

On Monday, October 30, 2017, the White House will open the South Lawn to ghosts and goblins of all ages.

Gates will be open from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM to schoolchildren and parents from over 20 Maryland, Virginia, and District of Columbia schools, as well as military families and community organizations.

During this event, trick-or-treaters will enjoy seeing the South Portico decorated in spider webs, creating a festive look and feel. There will also be bats and orange pumpkins with profiles of past presidents. Fog will fill the air, and the trees and south facade will be lit with different colors throughout the night.

The President and First Lady will hand out cookies created by the White House Pastry Kitchen, as well as Presidential M&Ms and other candies. Various departments and agencies such as the United States Secret Service, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Park Service, and the Department of Education will also be on hand to give out various items and participate in the festivities.

Orange pumpkins with profiles of presidents past? I’d like to see that, especially Obama’s.

The WH Kitchen will make smiling pumpkin cookies but for scary, here's some truly frightening Halloween cookies. This TX lady makes hers from antique cookie molds. Interesting historical story at her home page.
