The city of Colleyville has canceled its Haunted Trail Fest after recent rains this week flooded the park at the Colleyville Nature Center. The event was scheduled for Oct. 20.

A statement on the city's website said there was a concern the weather would affect the featured robotic characters and therefore the participants' safety during the event.

The Haunted Trail Fest would have invited guests to explore a wooden path filled with Halloween creatures, special effects and a costume contest.

At this time there are no plans to reschedule the event.
