Craft beer has, apparently, arrived as a thing in Springfield because there are two � yes, two � craft beer events this weekend.

Springfield Oyster & Beer Festival

For once, if you hear someone talking about some �S.O.B.,� they aren�t using a mild profanity.

The fifth Springfield Oyster & Beer Festival is from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at The Inn at 835, 835 S. Second St.

The annual event, which began in 2010, features more than 100 types of craft beer and ciders, live music and food.

The primary food will be oyster dishes. The festival also will have three local food trucks.

Local bands the Deep Hollow and Thornhill are scheduled to perform.

The event will occur rain or shine under tents at The Inn at 835.

Proceeds this year benefit genH Kids, a nonprofit organization that encourages children to get more exercise and to eat healthy foods. It also works to make these changes long-term habits for children.

Advance tickets: $20, available at 523-4466, www.sobfestival.com, or at The Inn at 835, Obed & Isaac�s, and Friar Tuck. Tickets the day of the event cost $25.
