Gov. Bev Perdue and First Gentleman Bob Eaves are hosting trick-or-treaters this evening at the Executive Mansion but don't expect them to don a scary costume.

A governor's office spokeswoman says Perdue and Eaves will appear as themselves. (Insert your own punch line here.)
So don't expect anything like this costume (at right) from former First Lady Mary Easley, submitted by reader Bob Wheeler who took his family by the mansion in 2007.
Maybe Perdue and Eaves just didn't have ideas for a costume.
Got an idea for them? Put it in the comments section and we'll update the list later today.

She could go as the governor

Joker, of course & no mask needed, but ID required by kids

She is a Batman villain:
