Cherry Queen Competition 2009

The Cherry Queen competition is one of the major elements of the Cherry Festival and has been part of the celebrations from the very early stages of the festival.

By participating in the Cherry Queen competition, the local girls commit to an extensive program of events that include public speaking engagements, running and organizing fundraising events and promoting Young to Australia and the world through official engagements such as the auction of the first case of cherries at Flemington Markets. Just this one auction raised $ 25,000 for charity!

 

The crowning of the Cherry Queen 2009 will take place at the Cherry Festival Ball on the 4^th of December. The Cherry Festival Ball is open to everybody – residents of and visitors to Young! The ball is a great night with live entertainment being provided by Young’s own Australia Idol legend Luke Dickens and Aussie rock band Uluru. A welcome drink with a three course meal consisting of finger food entrée, main course and dessert with tea & coffee is also included.

 

Tickets are $ 50 and are available from either the Young Visitor Information Centre or online by clicking here. The event starts at 7.00pm at the Young Services Club Auditorium on Cloete Street.
