Fight the Bite Against Mosquitoes this Summer
As you prepare for summer activities, now is the time to also prepare to protect yourself and your home against mosquitoes. You can do your part in preventing mosquitoes by following these simple steps:

  • DRESS in light-colored clothing, long sleeves and pants instead of shorts to help prevent mosquitoes from being attracted to you.

  • DRAIN standing water around your home. Walk around the exterior of your home to locate areas of potential mosquito breeding grounds. Drain any standing water in and around your home. Mosquitoes seek areas of standing water such as trash cans, pet dishes, irrigation leaks/puddles, old tires, flowerpots, rain gutters and birdbaths.

  • DEFEND yourself by applying mosquito repellent before going outside. By wearing a repellent with DEET, an EPA-approved ingredient, you will increase your protection against mosquitoes. You can also pick up organic alternatives that include orange spray, eucalyptus or citronella. Follow label instructions before applying.
Discover Downtown: Boots on Broadway June 11
Plan to do some boot scootin’ with Texas legend Gary P. Nunn and entertainer Gary Kyle in Downtown Prosper! Boots on Broadway, the first event in the Discover Downtown Series, will be hosted on June 11 by Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Prosper Economic Development Corporation. The concerts are free of charge to the public. Kyle’s performance kicks off the event at 6 p.m. and headliner Nunn is set to take the stage at 7:30 p.m.

Plan to come downtown early and get to know your local retailers and restaurants in Downtown Prosper! Alcohol will be available for purchase and food trucks will also be part of the event. The area will be fenced per TABC regulations. The event is a designated TABC Licensed Location, which means there are a few things to know before you go: Coolers will not be allowed; neither alcohol nor food may be brought into or taken out of the event area and items brought into the event are subject to search.
