With tens of thousands of people coming to Clinton for the annual Apple n' Pork Festival, local authorities have their annual reminders for Clinton's biggest weekend.

Chief Ben Lowers says with so many people coming into the community for that day, patience for those coming and going, but also residents, is appreciated.

While one would think that many people coming to town would create lots of headaches for local authorities, Chief Lowers says it has almost become routine in getting prepared for the big weekend.

The Chief reminds dogs are prohibited on the Homestead grounds for the festival. While your day may be friendly, he feels it is an unnecessary risk for other attendees.

Chief Lowers reminds the square will be closed off on Friday and Saturday during the day. He reminds there will also be some side street closures and reminds golf carts are not allowed on Center Street except for emergency services use only.
