ABC News correspondent JuJu Chang is expected in Plant City Tuesday to prepare a report for "Good Morning America" about the Strawberry Festival, according to publicist Liz Harmon, who is promoting the upcoming event.

Chang plans to follow the 2009 Strawberry Festival Queen Lauren Der, 19, her first maid, Sara Beth Newsome and the Queen's "court" Megan Cochran, Joclyn Emerson and Morgan Feaster, Harmon says.

"We've been told it's one of Chang's 'Americana' human interest stories," Harmon says.

Chang is a New York-based reporter for "20/20," "Good Morning America" and "Nightline."

Among the events Chang is expected to cover is a "Miss Manners" dinner at which the Queen and her court instruct young girls on etiquette.

Chang also is expected to return during the festival (Feb. 26-March 8). There is no air date yet for her report.
