The first box of cherries this season went under the hammer at the SA Wholesale Produce Market in Pooraka, raising money for Variety - the Children's Charity.

After a bidding war, John Antoniadis was crowned the Cherry King, the first in three years after back-to-back Cherry Queens.

"I don't think John was fully aware of what was going to happen", Roving Reporter Troy Sincock said to Sonya & Jules. "He's now adorned in this long, velvet cape".
