CLINTON — Anyone who wants to enter the “Pigs on Parade” contest for the 53rd Annual Apple ‘n Pork Festival can now pick up their entry forms and plywood pig cutouts.

Contestants can get their forms and cutouts at the C.H. Moore Homestead  & DeWitt County Museum from August 17-August 22 or until all available pigs have been claimed. 

There will be a $5 entry fee payable when registering and receiving the pigs.  Artists, families, individuals and nonprofit organizations are encouraged to participate, but commercial or political entries are not accepted.
