Good beer, food and music brought a crowd to the ninth annual Hops & Crops Music and Beer Festival at Mary Olson Farm last Saturday.

People weathered the light rain to take in live music and sample some of the region’s best craft beers.

The festival offered more than 30 craft brews and ciders from local breweries. Live music performances showcased the diverse Northwest music scene, including the sounds of roots, Indie, Americana, soul and funk bands.

People toured the historic farmhouse and participated in classic lawn games.

Proceeds from the event support educational programming at the 67-acre, 1879 family subsistence farm.

The Auburn Downtown Association sponsored the event.
