Regional Radio caught up with the American legion booth during the Apple and Pork weekend.
Tom Reddington indicates that the American Legion owes a lot to the community, veterans, and volunteers for getting their new location set up nearly four years ago.
Reddington adds that the large meeting room in the Legion is named after their mentor, Ernest Thorp, and they will dedicate his portrait and display it in the building.
He adds that the funds from Apple and Pork will go to building improvements and veteran programs through the year. The building is utilized for community organization meetings and celebrations of all kinds.
The American Legion is located at 219 North Elizabeth Street in Clinton and can be reached at (217) 935-5183.
