A Sincere Note of Gratitude...
The C.H. Moore Homestead DeWitt County Museum would like to thank those who attended the 58th Annual Apple ‘n Pork Festival; those who provided monetary sponsorships and grants for the event; and all who contributed their time, talents, and skills to make this year’s festival a success.
The modest museum fundraiser which was established by the DeWitt County Museum Association to make possible the restoration and operation of the C.H. Moore Homestead was based around a kettle of soup and a stack of sandwiches served on the museum’s front lawn. More than 50 years later, the Apple ‘n Pork Festival has evolved into one of Central Illinois’ largest, longest running, and best-attended fall festivals. The evolution is astounding.
However, throughout the years, much has remained the same. The event continues to be a celebration of autumn’s arrival, a tribute to our local heritage and agricultural roots, a source of community pride as we all combine our efforts to uphold this annual tradition, proceeds continue to allow the C.H. Moore Homestead DeWitt County Museum to operate, and, above all, we still rely on and appreciate the volunteers who help make the Apple ‘n Pork Festival an annual success.
We look forward to welcoming you all back next year! 🍎
