Residents of Prospect Heights gathered Saturday at Lions Park for the annual Prospect Heights Block Party, an afternoon and evening of music, games, the Prospect Heights Voice contest, food and drink.
The event started as planned at 4 p.m., but soon faced a challenge from a line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the area.
