Members of Prosper’s fire and police departments spent the evening hours of Oct. 1 attending neighborhood block parties for National Night Out, an annual get-together for first responders and community members.

National Night Out not only promotes relationships between Prosper’s first responders and residents but also helps neighbors get to know each other and commit to looking out for one another, according to the town’s website.

This was Prosper’s 40th year celebrating the event, according to the town’s website.
