The boxes of gingerbread cookies folks carry around the grounds of the Apple n' Pork Festival every year may be as common as a bowl of ham and beans or a baked potato.
But it's a must-have for hundreds, and whether they realize it or not, they are supporting the Waynesville Women's Club. Patty Klemm with the Waynesville Women's Club explains the Apple n' Pork Festival helps them support many efforts within the Waynesville community.
According to Klemm, preparing for the Apple n' Pork Festival is quite the task. This year, they were able to have the students in the high school German Club help with the weekend Festival tasks.
Klemm indicates it has been a lot of fun to be able to fund projects big and small and watch them better the community. She emphasizes the things they do for the community would not be possible without the Apple n' Pork Festival.
The Waynesville Women's Club meets at the Waynesville Methodist Church. Klemm emphasizes they are not a religious group; they rent the building. You can contact her or reach out to anyone in Waynesville to learn more about the group.
