West Park Mall held its annual Treat Street and Costume Contest Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m. Thousands of people came through the doors in the two-hour period.

"We tell our mall employees to dress-up, relax and just have a good time."Linda "The Good Witch" Farrow of Sky Watch Communications was having a great time. "Everyone is just too cute," she said.
