How Gov. Baker Reacted To One Kid's Halloween Suggestion
Gov. Charlie Baker met with the 9-year-old who wrote a letter suggesting houses give out only king-sized candy for Halloween this year.
BOSTON (CBS) — A 9-year-old who wrote a letter suggesting to Governor Charlie Baker that only king-sized candy bars be handed out this Halloween due to the coronavirus pandemic met with the governor Friday.
Baker presented Piper Abbett and a friend, who were dressed as Dash and Violet from The Incredibles, with a poster-sized Kit-Kat bar, along with actual king-sized candy bars.
Earlier this month Piper wrote to the governor asking him not to cancel Halloween and saying: “I also think that on Halloween people should only give out king size candy vars because instead of people touching and taking 3-2 small pieces of candy they touch only one! So people won’t be touching a lot of stuff. So it would be better for the corona.”
