Many of Clinton's non-profits set up booths at the Apple N' Pork festival each year, but in the past, The Vault has not been one of those groups. 

Wendy DeMent, Executive Director of The Vault explains that all of that changed this year when they decided that funnel cakes would be the avenue towards funding for this year's programs. She says that although the booth was a last-minute decision, it was a steady line all day. 

DeMent indicates that it can take eight or more people to keep the funnel cake tent going in a single shift. She adds it's all of the hard-working volunteers that allow funds raised to go back into the Vault's programming. 

The Vault semester is underway, and DeMent notes they have already had record-breaking attendance, but still reminds that it's not too late to sign your student up. 

The Vault is a youth development-focused nonprofit located on Clinton Square. Learn more about programming opportunities by visiting thevaultclinton.org or by finding The Vault on Facebook.
