Come Saturday in Clinton, thousands of visitors will converge on the community for the annual Apple n' Pork Festival.

Director of the CH Moore Homestead Joey Long believes the festival is a special opportunity to take a step back in time and enjoy the charm of the past. 

Among the traditions of the Apple n' Pork Festival is the meal grinding, the antique tractor show, and the flea market, which Long says there is a lot of interest in this year.

Long is excited to have tours of the mansion back this year. Last year they did not have enough volunteers to cover the weekend and so they had to close the museum down.

We'll have continuing coverage leading up to, during, and well after the Apple n' Pork Festival on Regional Radio.

The Apple n' Pork Festival is this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 24-25.
