85-thousand people attended this last year's annual Apple n' Pork Festival, and year after year, the tent set up in front of the carriage barn is stacked with people ready to get their ham and beans.
David Killian helped man the ham and beans tent for the Elks Club, who has manned the operation for many years. He indicates the crowds were steady all throughout the weekend despite the heat.
Killian indicates to get more people involved in the biggest weekend of the year, the Elks has reached out to different groups in recent years for more support.
Like the dozens of civic organizations that participate in Apple n' Pork weekend, Killian indicates their organization could not do the many things they are able to afford without the Apple n' Pork.
The ham and beans tent has seven kettles set up cooking at almost all times throughout the weekend. Due to the demand for them, they have set up two tables for people to purchase at.
