The video wasn't just for fun; it was to remind everyone to stay safe on Friday night when thousands of kiddos will take to the streets across the state to get their share of treats.
"The Kentucky Department for Public Health is sharing some health tips. Eat a good meal before heading out, this will give you energy for trick-or-treating," Beshear said. "Make sure costumes fit well, that's one that you can see, breathe, and move normally. Wash your hands after trick-or-treating and before eating candy."
Other tips: carry a flashlight or glow stick, exit cars on the curb side, and teach your kids how to dial 9-1-1.
And for the first time during his administration, candy won't be given out at the Governor's mansion this year.
"We're putting your safety first. We have an enormous construction project going on at the Capitol. We have large, deep trenches very close to the Governor's Mansion. The lights currently aren't functioning around the Capitol. There's no sidewalk right in front of the mansion. And to me, while this is one of my favorite days of the year, and I love seeing all these kids, thousands in the last years, it's not worth it if one child gets hurt," said Besehar.
And if you are driving in neighborhoods tonight, officials remind you to slow down.
