A Bean Festival general com-
mittee oversees the planning
and organization of the event
and the committee's task is be-
coming an almost year-round
activity, so much has the
festival grown in is seven years
of existence.
Backing up the general com-
mittee is a large group of vol-
unteers. There are sub -commit-
tees in charge of everything
from cooking beans to emerg-
ency arrangements in the event
of adverse weather conditions.
The sub -committees report reg-
ularly to the general committee
on progress through the year,
and as festival time nears the
meetings become more and
more frequently.
Chairman for this year's fest-
ival is Ray McKinnon, the man
who first came up with the idea
of a Bean Festival eight years
ago. He has served off and on as
chairman of the event for at
least half of the years the event
has been in operation.
Serving as vice-chairman of
the event is Glen Thiel, who was
chairman last year. Secretary
is Mrs. Marge Schilbe, while
W. D. Armstrong is treasurer of
the Bean Festival Corporation.
Gerald Gingerich and his wife,
Pears, head up the most import-
ant committee of the entire
project --food. Arranging for
all the workers in this depart-
ment is Mrs. Don Oke, who has
capably enlisted help from every
organization in the community.
Other chairmen of various com
mittees are; concessions and mid-
way, Glen Weido and Charles
Eckel; tours, Orland Reichert;
traffic and parking, Carl Thiel;
hydro, Charles Eckel; property,
