Can somebody let us know if they snagged one of those coveted collage lighters from Rash Fest 9 (and if there are any left over)? Those pocket-sized souvenirs are just one of many ways locals' pay homage to the annual punk rock festival held at the Masonic Temple in Eau Claire (616 Graham Ave.).

Starting at 8pm, this year’s lineup featured 10 music acts, including local Eau Claire favorites like Fawn Haus, The Nunnery, and event hosts gash – alongside Minnesota performers Prize Horse, Lana Leone and others.

Food (thanks to Karl's Bar-B-Q Express) and drink were available for purchase; local vendors were once again on-site including the Odd House, See/Saw radio, Free World Industries and Meat Castle.

As the night went on, concertgoers kept rolling in wearing festive (and creative) getups for the Rash Fest costume contest. The event reached a fever pitch during gash’s headlining set, with fans of all ages packing into the mosh pit (always one of the great perks of this fest).
