Hometown Harvest Fair returns to Frontier Park Oct. 17 with a food drive built in

Prosper's yearly fall festival, Celebrate Prosper, will take over Frontier Park on Saturday, Oct. 17, this time under the name Hometown Harvest Fair.

The event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. at the park, 1551 Frontier Parkway. The Town of Prosper, which organizes it through its Parks and Recreation Department, is planning a pumpkin patch, hayrides, a petting zoo, fall crafts, a bubble truck and inflatables, live music, picnic food and dessert trucks, and an exhibitor marketplace.

Bring three, eat free

This year's fair doubles as a food drive. The town is partnering with Children's Hunger Fund Prosper to collect groceries for local families. Anyone who brings at least three items per person from the group's Food Pak shopping list will get a voucher for a free hot dog meal from Savory Kitchen. The shopping list is posted on the town's event page.

Cornhole and booths

A cornhole tournament is part of the evening, with separate upper and lower doubles brackets; sign-up is through the town's event page. Booth space for exhibitors has already filled, and the town says it is no longer taking applications.

The town also posted a warning for vendors and sponsors: it is the only source for booth and sponsorship applications and will never ask for payment through Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, text messages or Facebook Messenger. Only posts published by the town are official, it said.

CoServ is the event's platinum sponsor, with Cook Children's Health Care System, H-E-B, Methodist Celina Medical Center and Whataburger as sterling sponsors.
