While local authorities say bringing 80,000 or more to Clinton for the Apple n' Pork Festival doesn't create too many issues, Warner Hospital is beefing up its readiness for the weekend.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Warner Hospital CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio he and his staff are ready for the annual crowds that come to Clinton. Unless there is a big heat wave, Skowron notes they tend not to be very busy.

Skowron reminds of the hospital's 'Swifty Swine 5K' on Saturday morning. You can register all the way up to the morning of the run at Weldon Springs State Park.

The Apple n' Pork Festival is this weekend in Clinton. Learn more about the Swifty Swine 5K by finding the Warner Hospital on Facebook.
