While organizers are keeping a close eye on Sunday’s weather forecast, the plan for the 13th Annual Mustache Bash at the Denny-Crump Arena is to ride come rain or shine.

“It would have to be some pretty severe stuff for us to postpone it. The parking lot is concrete and the arena is covered so it’s a rain or shine event. As long as there is not a tornado in El Reno, the show will go on,” said organizer Nathan Tull.

The event, which starts at 2 p.m., comes to El Reno for a fourth year and Tull feels the Mustache Bash has found its permanent home.
