The Halloween spirit made its way onto campus Monday night during Treats no Tricks, an annual event where various student organizations volunteer to bring spooky fun to people of all ages. 

Children, parents and even students were dressed in costumes. From Bluey to Spider-Man, many different characters were in attendance.

As the evening began, a long line of excited children and parents made their way onto Old Main lawn. Across the entire lawn, student organizations and groups such as PRSSA, Activities Program Board (APB) and Greek Life handed out candy and hosted games for children. 

SU President Charles Patterson was also in attendance, dressed as Mario, with his dog, Oliver, dressed as Luigi. 

Throughout the evening, families enjoyed different activities such as pumpkin picking, cornhole, rubber duck fishing in the Old Main Fountain and taking pictures with Big Red and Shippo the Hippo. The cotton-candy machines were also popular spots for the children. 

The night was filled with music, laughter and a sense of togetherness that brought the spooky night to a close.
