Despite experiencing a deficit in its third year and borrowing $500 to continue\, the festival has maintained positive financial operations since that time. The ongoing success of the event is attributed not only to financial resources but also to the collaboration and commitment of the community\, as well as the significant contributions of over hundreds of volunteers from across a five-county region. \nThe Cranberry Festival Board of Directors and Advisory Board comprise fourteen members\, supported by more than 250 volunteers who assist with preparations\, operations\, and post-event activities for the three-day festival. Participants are drawn from Warrens and Monroe County\, as well as Jackson\, Juneau\, La Crosse\, and Wood Counties.
