Organized in 2016 by Dr. Joseph Reed, the events leading up to the celebration are designed to promote volunteerism, agriculture and healthy nutrition, as well as to gather fresh green beans for Parish House meals. Events have included a recipe contest, art/writing competition, social snapping and growing green beans.
