Photos and audio postcard from the governor’s holiday open house

Gov. Bill Walker and First Lady Donna Walker opened the governor’s house for a holiday open house Tuesday.

Listen to this audio postcard by APRN and KTOO’s Andrew Kitchenman. He speaks with Michelle Weaver, Andrew Waldron, Cindy Isaac, Anne Doyle, Larry Grant, Michelle Morris and Gov. Bill Walker about the open house.

“I think it’s really fun to get a chance to meet the governor and to eat cookies,” said Michelle Weaver, who attended the open house. “The warm cider is always good. And so it’s just a fun tradition. So it’s exciting to get to share.”

The annual holiday open house has been a tradition since 1913, only taking two years off during World War II.
