Prosper's parks and recreation staff are throwing a free Halloween party Wednesday, Oct. 28, and the forecast for that evening looks better than the one for Halloween itself.
Boo at the Park runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at Pecan Grove Park, 831 Del Carmen Drive. The town's calendar lists music, yard games and candy, plus a costume contest. The event is free, and questions go to the parks department at 972-569-1057.
