Millcreek • Smiling at children costumed as princesses, a cat, Minnie Mouse and three as Spider-Man, Utah first lady Jeanette Herbert said her family loves a fun Halloween that is perhaps even a little scary — but not deadly.
“Sometimes we get so caught up in our preparations that we forget the most important thing is that our kids are reminded about safety,” she said at an event Thursday to urge Utah motorists and parents to be extra careful during what too often is a dangerous holiday on the roads.
She then led the children for some quick trick-or-treating through the Olympus Hills Macey’s store where they were among the first to receive free reflective treat bags made available in a partnership between the state and Associated Foods stores.
