The finishing touches are being put to two Golden Jubilee year events in Blacko.

Burnley Football Club's mascots Bertie Bee and Bumble Bee will open the village fete at 2pm on Saturday. It will be staged on the recreation ground and include the return of the Tower Race, cancelled last year because of foot and mouth.

On Saturday, June 22, the Summer Dinner Dance will be held in a marquee on the recreation ground, from 7.30pm.
