Princess Ziri Morales

Former Junior Royalty member Ziri Morales serves as an alternate to the Strawberry Festival Royalty Court this year.

This is the first year the festival has named an alternate who will fill in on the parade float if one of the other members is absent or walk beside the float if all are present.

Ziri is an Arlington High School junior and Everett Community College running start student who said her time with the Royalty so far has been going well.

“So far it’s been going great,” she said. “We’ve had some really long road trips but that’s good because it gives me and the other girls a lot of bonding time.”

The Strawberry Festival Royalty has joined other festivals and Ziri said she enjoys the experience.

“I like seeing all the kids who are just happy to see all the Princesses come out,” she said.

As a member of the Junior Royalty in 2018 Ziri said that she had many good experiences and that is why she was glad to be able to rejoin the Royalty this year.

She looks forward to Marysville’s Strawberry Festival and all the other festivals that she will be traveling to soon.

“It will be nice to get out of the house
