Roughly 80,000 plus people will populate Clinton this weekend for the annual Apple n' Pork festival. 

It's a massive population boom and local authorities are reminding of best practices for all those coming to Clinton. Chief Ben Lowers says while you might think it creates a lot of problems, after 57 years, it is a well-oiled machine.

Because of all the people coming to Clinton, Chief Lowers indicates many visitors do not realize all the parking that is available near the Homestead grounds and you'll see people parked out along the highway. 

Chief Lowers reminds, Center Street from the former Save A Lot location to the Homestead grounds will be closed off as a significant amount of foot traffic occupies that portion of Clinton leading to the Homestead.

The Apple n' Pork Festival is this weekend in Clinton, Saturday, Sept. 27, and Sunday, Sept. 28. Find the Apple n' Pork Festival Facebook page for more information, and keep it to Regional Radio for continued comprehensive coverage of this year's Festival.
