April 22, 2025 - Harrisburg, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, and Second Lady Blayre Holmes Davis welcomed pre-K students, teachers, and advocates to the Governor's Residence for the 2025 annual Easter Egg Hunt - the first public event held at the Residence since the April 13th arson attack. The Governor and the First Lady were determined to reopen the Governor's Residence as quickly as possible - and while work continues on the building, the Residence will remain a welcoming place for people from all across the Commonwealth. "As I said last Sunday after an arsonist tried to burn down the Governor's Residence, it's not only important to get this historic building cleaned up and repaired quickly - it's also critically important to me and Lori that we welcome visitors back here as soon as possible and make sure this continues to be a place where people from all walks of life feel welcome," said Governor Shapiro. "This Residence is a place where we've lit Christmas trees, held Iftar dinners, danced at a bar mitzvah, and hunted for Easter eggs. Today's event marks an important step forward in continuing that tradition - and we will continue to bring Pennsylvanians together at the Governor's Residence for years to come."List of Speakers:Lieutenant Governor Austin DavisGovernor Josh Shapiro
