It took a little more than two hours for the DeWitt County Museum to sell out of their  kettle-cooked ham n' beans and ham sandwiches.

Board President Kelby McMath tells Regional Radio News they were overwhelmed by the support shown today and says they did better than they could've imagined.

McMath says whatever the total number of dollars raised will help and only minutes after selling out, he was overwhelmed by the amount of support they received.

Despite losing the Apple n' Pork Festival, McMath says conservative budgeting by the Museum Board in recent years has set them up to still be in good shape to make it through the year despite not having the revenue from their biggest fundraiser.

Social media chatter suggested the lines for the ham n' beans were backed up Center Street to the old Save A Lot near the railroad tracks. McMath notes he never saw the line, however, many motorists they talked said it was indeed back up that far. 

The Homestead originally planned for 450 servings of ham n' beans but at the last minute increased the amount to 600 servings.
