The Brick District hosted its third annual Morels and Microbrews Festival Saturday on Court Street in downtown Fulton.

The event, which featured vendors selling craft beers and morels, attracted hundreds of patrons from various parts of the state despite heavy rainfall at points throughout the day.

In addition to beer and fried morels, people enjoyed live music and participated in a live auction. This year, Morels and Microbrews for the first time invited home brewers to sell their beers.
