He ended up with this task Monday night, the first night of bean cooking in preparation for the festival Saturday. The discouraging thing for Orlen was, when he finished this one there was another 500 pound cooker full of beans ready and waiting.

Above, Dale Schwartzentruber got the job Monday night of measuring brown sugar out of 100 pound bags, by the cupful. Photo by McKinley 150 volunteers take part It takes over 150 volunteers from the Zurich area to allow a bean festival to run smoothly. During the week prior to the festival, there is baking done every day. This involves approxi- mately a dozen or so people each night from about 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. However, most of the volun- teers are on duty the day of the festival. There are three serving tables with three 3 -hour shifts at each table. It takes five girls per shift for a total of 45. There are two men and four women on duty per shift in the kitchen on Saturday, five shifts of 2 1/2 hours per shift. Here the work is more strenuous, thus the shorter length of time on shifts. Approximately 15 men are involved in manning the ticket selling booths, three of which are scattered around the mall arca. The cabbage and ham has to be cut the day of the festival to avoid it drying out, thus there are more volunteers needed here. Four girls on each cabbage shift work three hours and there are three shifts. Another group of men take care of cutting the ham fresh as it is needed. In addition, there have to be ,•.

Needless to say she had to be replaced and if there are no people handy, this could be quite a problem. So, the bean festival is a community affair, it couldn't exist otherwise.
