* The competition was apparently pretty fierce at this year’s Capitol Trick-or-Treat. Senate Republicans edged out the Senate Democratic legislative assistants by a point and a half…
It’s that time of year again! The General Assembly staff held their annual Capitol Trick-or-Treat event on Thursday. This year, Dawn Sterling, news anchor at WICS, was our wonderful guest judge.
This year the areas were judged on six criteria: theme, DIY ability, overall creativity, engagement, candy experience, and all ages appeal.
- 1st place: Senate GOP with Route 66 and a final score of 52.5.
- 2nd place: Senate Dem LAs with Clue Murder Mystery and a final score of 51.
- 3rd place: House Dem Policy and Budget with Inside Out and a final score of 49.
- 4th place: Senate Dem Comms with Candy Land and a final score of 48 points.
* Some pictures!…
The Statehouse staffers really do go all out for this every year. Lots of time and effort to give the kids a fun afternoon. Good people.
