Clinton's biggest event of the year is right around the corner. 

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, explains that they have begun preparing for the Apple N' Pork Festival all the way back in January. From the flea market to the food tents, everyone is getting ready for the big event. 

Long states that while the volunteers they have are very strong, they could always use more hands to prepare the Homestead as well as work some of the food booths and help inside the mansion during tours. 

This year is the 57th Annual Apple N' Pork Festival, and Long expects to have a great turnout, especially for their entertainment. 

This year's Apple N' Pork Festival takes place on September 27th and 28th at the Homestead, located at 219 E Woodlawn Street in Clinton. The annual event brings tens of thousands of visitors to the city.
