IT will be mutts against pooches at the first ever summer gala being run by the Friends of Sunnyhurst Woods.
The organisation, which was set up 12 months ago to help protect the woodland area, are inviting youngsters and adults to bring their four-legged friends along to the event to take part in the scruffiest and bonniest dog competitions.
The contest will be one of a whole host of other attractions to be featured at the event on Sunday. along with a bouncy castle, face painting, a tombola stall and Barn Owl Bill and his owls.
Darwen Brass Band are also expected to attend as they entertain visitors with their musical talents.
It is hoped proceeds from the event will go towards providing new benches and a children's play area for the wood, as well as a number of dog litter bins.
The gala will take place between 2pm and 4.30pm in Sunnyhurst Woods on Sunday.
