A festival in Western Kentucky for mystery writers has been canceled because of a lack of funding.

The RiverPark Center board of directors made the decision Tuesday during a meeting. The International Mystery Writers' Festival had been scheduled for October in Owensboro.

RiverPark board chairman Jeff Danhauer said the board had a goal of raising $100,000 for the festival by June and didn't reach it. Board members had looked for alternative funding after Gov. Steve Beshear vetoed state funding for the event.
