The busiest weekend of the year is upon us on Clinton and the organization who is behind the Apple n' Pork Festival is ready for the big weekend.
The 48th annual Apple & Pork Festival gets underway this weekend and DeWitt County Museum Director Joey Woolridge indicates the proceeds from this year's festival will go towards the continued maintenance of the C.H. Moore Homestead.
The Apple & Pork Festival, which brings in 80,000-plus people annually into the town of Clinton, is a major source of funding for many local non-profit organizations. Woolridge indicates along with the popular non-profit food booths there are some new additions this year.
Free entertainment on the museum grounds is once again provided thanks to contributions from Exelon. Woolridge says Modern Cowboyz will be performing along with returning acts from past years.
The Apple & Pork festival is Saturday, September 24 through Sunday, September 25. For musical schedules and more information you can visit the museum Facebook page, go to their website www.chmoorehomestead.org, or call (217) 935-6066.
Tune in to the Big 1520 AM/92.3 FM WHOW, 95.9 FM WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com for live coverage of the festival Saturday from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
