Practically everyone in the village gets involved in some way. The hard work and dedica- tion of an army ofvolunteers makes the smooth operation of each year's festival possible. While the entire community deserves credit for the success of the event, the hard-working members of the organizing committee . are perhaps most responsible for getting the old bean ball rolling and maintaining momentum. The entire community also benefits from the event, through donations from festival proceeds. In past years, such organizations as the local fire department, minor sports and . various community betterment projects have been the recipients of Bean Festival proceeds.
