Camp Quality's Cherry Ball is set to reach a milestone this weekend
This Saturday, Camp Quality will hold its 20th Cherry Ball fundraiser at the Adelaide Convention Centre. The evening will be hosted by Derrick Patterson and Frank Bueti who both work in the fruit and vegetable industry and spend their time preparing for the annual Cherry Ball, with the assistance of Derrick’s daughter, Ashley. Saturday evening's guests will have the opportunity to bid on prime fruit and vegetable crops. The ultimate prize is the first case of cherries for the season with the highest bidders crowned King and Queen. It is set to be an amazing night with funds raised going towards families with children growing up with cancer.
