The 57th annual Apple n' Pork Festival will take place this weekend in Clinton.
Joey Long, Executive Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, explains the Apple N' Pork Festival was originally established to raise funds to restore the CH Moore Mansion, and that goal is still true today.
Long indicates as the Mansion was almost ready to be torn down, John Warner III reached out to the historical society and invited them to relocate into the Mansion. The Apple N' Pork Festival was created to restore it and eventually turn it into the museum it is today.
The growth of the Apple N' Pork Festival did not come overnight; rather, Long points out it has been decades of hard work and community support that made the event what it is now.
The Apple n' Pork Festival is this Saturday, September 27th and Sunday, September 28th on Clinton's north side. Learn more about all there is to see at the Apple N' Pork Festival by finding them on Facebook.
