Exeter UFO Festival Canceled

The annual UFO Festival in Exeter has been canceled this year.

Organizers said the reason was Town Hall remained closed for repairs after it was damaged in a fire earlier this year.

The festival is usually held at Town Hall, where a costume contest is held and UFO experts give talks. It draws hundreds of visitors each year.

Festival organizers said they tried to search for another venue, but couldn't find one big enough in the downtown area. 

Organizers said they will hold the festival again in 2014.

Town officials have not said when Town Hall will reopen this year.
