Sisters Lottie and Poppy Hughes are blissing out at the thought of the upcoming Wallington Strawberry Fair.
The girls joined Miss Berry Bliss in a recent taste test of this season’s latest harvest in preparation for the fair to be held on Sunday 5 March.
Miss Bliss will be the star attraction of a mascot obstacle race when she takes on Drysdale’s Hawk, CFA Koala and and SES Platypus.
Around 10,000 people are expected to attend the fair, which has been running for more than 30 years.
All the usual attractions of the fair will be on offer including more than 50 market stalls, live music all day, as well pony rides, train and show rides, and all can be washed down with this year’s new temptation, strawberry lemonade.
Poo Lotto will also return by popular demand.
Organiser Ms Kerrie Wrench said it was the fun atmosphere of the fair and its beautiful setting which was always the drawcard for local people.
“It has become an icon for everybody to come along and join in the fun,” Ms Wrench said.
