HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutch Fall Fest is coming up this weekend.
The Rod Run is one of those premier events," said Amy Conkling with Hutch Rec. "Also on Saturday, the morning is kicking off with a 5K/10K Salt City races going on right in front of Salt City Brewing Company, starting at 8 a.m. Later that day, our other premier event for the weekend is our craft brewfest going on from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. It's literally steps outside of our downtown Hutch Rec office, just in front of 17 East First and the Fox Theatre, in that area along First Street, between Main and Walnut."
The Brewfest is returning, with a twist.
"It is actually a craft beer focus," Conkling said. "That was not the case in the past. We have ten breweries from across the Sunflower State coming to downtown Hutchinson on Saturday. Tickets are on sale now. You can purchase them. Today is the last day you can get them before they increase. They are $40 now. You can purchase them online at hutchrec.com, or you can go to our downtown office at 17 East First. They bump up to $50 tomorrow and Saturday. You can even purchase them day of."
