In-town pool report #2 - POTUS at Halloween event

POTUS walked out of the south portico at 5:27. FLOTUS walked out with him, holding the hand of a young girl. Several other children of different ages walked out directly behind POTUS and FLOTUS.

Color: the first balcony of the south portico displays a large model of a full moon. Decorative green and orange vines cover the bottom half of the portico, and white, green, orange, and black pumpkins are arranged along the steps and bottom area. The words "Halloween 2026" are displayed in gold below the full moon.

Members of the US Air Force Strolling Strings are also standing along the steps playing Halloween-themed music.

Spotted: Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller with their spouses and children (the families were standing together, so your pooler couldn't tell which children belonged to which family). The children are all in costumes. Katie Miller is wearing a black skeleton hoodie.
