All in all, it was a pretty average year for the Clinton Apple n' Pork Festival.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers estimates over 85,000 attended the annual Festival on the grounds of the CH Moore Homestead on Clinton's north side. He indicates the Sunday crowd was solid. 

DeWitt County Museum Director Joey Long called it a very enjoyable weekend and the ideal fall weather played into how pleasant of a weekend it was.

According to Long, the Homestead tours during the festival continue to prove to be very fruitful. She still notices younger and younger people interested in the CH Moore Mansion.

Chief Lowers says the festival running smoothly year after year with little to no issues is a product of the hard work of many people who have come before him.

By 3 pm Sunday, the Homestead's ham n' bean tent was being broken down as they had sold out. Several of the Homestead barns selling apple-themed products were also sold out around or shortly after 3 pm.
