The 56th Annual Apple N' Pork Festival has wrapped up another successful year.

Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, Joey Long explains the large majority of vendors present at the festival sold out or got close to it. 

As many listeners may know, the festival acts as a fundraiser for the homestead grounds, which can be an expensive task. Long says they haven't zeroed in on a project for these funds quite yet but there are a few things it could go towards. 

Long notes the importance of maintaining the homestead's historical integrity, and they do this not only with the architecture itself but also with how they decorate and stage it. This can be part of the reason maintenance is so expensive. 

Long is grateful for everyone who made it happen from the museum staff and volunteers to the attendees who came and graciously gave their money to help support the historical site.
