Teddy’s picnic

IF you go down to the woods on Saturday, you’re in for a big surprise: a Teddy Bears’ Picnic.
It will be held at Berwick’s Akoonah Park to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Organised by Beaconsfield diabetes crusader Lavinia Martin and LaTrobe MP Jason Wood, the day will include an animal farm, two-legged races, Harley Davidson rides, jumping castles and fun for the whole family.
Bring your teddy bear to enter the Teddy Bears’ competition for best dressed, scruffiest and funniest bear.
Western Bulldogs player Sam Reid will also attend, as will Rosko the Wombat.
Register your teddy by calling Taryn on 0402 102 144.
