The Clinton American Legion is known for its pork wings they fry and sell at the annual Apple n' Pork Festival but a challenge in finding supplies this year forced the organization to change up its annual offering.
Josh Thielen is the Commander of the Legion and indicates they decided to switch their menu up to carnitas. Unsure of how popular they would be, the Legion sold out of product both days of the Festival weekend.
According to Thielen, the fund from the annual Apple n' Pork Festival helps the Legion maintain its facility on Elizabeth Street in Clinton. He also notes they help support other veterans-based organizations.
Like most non-profits, Thielen says not is the Apple n' Pork weekend a great fundraising opportunity but he also points out it's a great opportunity to showcase their organization and the community.
