First Street, Prosper, Texas Wednesday, September 2, 2026 Page 2 of 2 4. Presentation of 2026 National Night Out Officer Hubbard shared the current number of registrations for National Night Out and asked the committee to help share the registration information. She also updated the committees that this year will feature more departments including public works and the library. 5. Discussion regarding Downtown Activation Ms. Stone gave the overview for the family friendly activations happening in the Fall in Downtown Prosper that have been branded Prosper on The Plaza. The activations will include the Fan Fest that is centered around football and include a watch party for the Texas vs. OU football game on October 10. The next activation is Friendsgiving themed to happen on November 21. Ms. Stone shared that both events are free to attend but it is asked to “reserve a spot” so the third party vendor can know how many people to expect. Suggestions for promotion included working with the EDC to get businesses involved, handing posters out to downtown businesses to hang as well as asking the committee members to help promote the event. Mr. Tanner then presented the changes coming to the Christmas Festival this year due to ongoing construction on First street. Staff is opting to fully shut down Broadway and activate It with inflatables, an ice rink on the plaza and other activities so it doesn’t feel separate from the festival itself. Ms. Battle also gave an update on the Downtown Monumentation nearing completion. 6.
