The Apple n' Pork Festival is nearly a month away and volunteers are needed.

Joey Long is the Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum. On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, she told Regional Radio they need volunteers to man the home, help in the carriage barn, and even in the machine shed.

According to Long, when she talks to potential volunteers, she often hears a couple of concerns. The first is volunteers in the home not knowing enough about the home and they get worried their volunteer time will take them away from being able to enjoy the festival.

Long indicates they have very simple tasks someone can take on like working the apple butter barn or in the meal grinding. She feels there is something for anyone no matter how involved they are hoping to be.

If you find the Apple n' Pork Facebook page, there is a survey there for interested volunteers that weekend. Long indicates they actually struggled with volunteers in the Homestead last fall and are hoping to see a bounce back in interest this fall.

For all things Apple n' Pork weekend, you can visit the Apple n' Pork Facebook page or visit chmoorehomestead.org. 

The Apple n' Pork Festival is Saturday, Sept. 24, and Sunday, Sept. 25.
