Apple and Pork Attendance Down in 2017

Just over 50-thousand attendees is the estimate of officials in Clinton for this weekend's 49th edition of the Apple and Pork Festival.

 

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says that is a crowd typical of Saturday at the annual festival but the heat and humidity of the weekend played major factor in this year's drop in attendance.

 

 

Chief Lowers indicates Saturday of Apple and Pork was a busy day for the fire department and EMS crews with the amount heat exhaustion calls that came in.

 

 

Director of the CH Moore Homestead, Joey Woolridge, says the weekend was good for her. She says the trends of the weekend were different this year.

 

 

The yearly Apple and Pork Festival is a fundraiser for the CH Moore Homestead Victorian mansion and the yearly upkeep for it. The heat and humidity had a hit-and-miss impact on the groups on the grounds of the Homestead and throughout the community.

 

We'll have complete coverage of the Apple and Pork Festival in the coming weeks on Regional Radio News.
