9-Year-Old Makes 'King Size' Halloween Request To Massachusetts Governor

A 9-year-old Massachusetts boy has made a special request for Governor Charlie Baker regarding Halloween festivities this year.

Gov. Baker is taking suggestions for how to handle trick-or-treating and other Halloween related activities in Massachusetts amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During his press conference on Friday, Gov. Baker mentioned receiving a letter from a 9-year-old boy, who believes the state should allow trick-or-treating and suggested a way to limit excessive touching of candy.

"I also think that on Halloween people should only give out king size candy bars because (instead) of people touching and taking 3-2 small pieces of candy they touch only one!" the child wrote. "So people won't be touching a lot of stuff. So it would be better for corona."

Gov. Baker later shared a photo of the handwritten letter on his Twitter account Friday.

"As you may have heard at today's press conference, I received a great suggestion from a young trick-or-treater as we approach 2020's Halloween in the Commonwealth: king-sized candy bars," Gov. Baker tweeted.

In the letter, the child said he and his friend planned to dress as "The Incredibles" for Halloween this year. Gov. Baker has let local Massachusetts city and town officials decide whether trick-or-treating and other Halloween related activities should be allowed in their respective jurisdictions amid the ongoing pandemic.
