The Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District announced Friday that the Hairy Man Festival, scheduled for Oct. 20, will be cancelled due to weather.

"We were hoping the forecast would change, but the rain is not letting up," the Brushy Creek MUD said in a press release. "We appreciate all the support for this popular event and look forward to planning the 2019 festival."

Saturday would have been the 24th year of the festival, which was planned to take place in Cat Hollow Park. Brushy Creek MUD representatives said the weather forecast and current condition of the park prompted the festival's cancellation.
