A 3kg doughnut challenge was a mouth-watering attraction at the Ashburton on the Green on November 19.
Ashburton on the Green was a community fair that was organised by the Ashburton Drive Primary School P&C.
The food challenge saw four ambitious competitors attempt to down 3kg of doughnuts with jam and cream.

“I thought I’d have this one in the bag given my background in law enforcement,” Coales lamented on his quasi-victory.
“I’ve certainly had a whole decade’s worth of doughnuts this past weekend and I’ll have to do a fair bit of extra door-knocking to burn off all of those extra calories.”
