The Blackburn Area News And Reports (BANAR) is published and delivered five times a year to Blackburn homes and businesses to celebrate community and provide information on local programs and events.
Local businesses use the BANAR to stay “top of mind” to their present and future customers.
Past and current copies are available at the Blackburn Library while quantities last.
The BANAR is a high quality 28+ page, black print 8.5 x 11 inch magazine. Printing and other costs are covered by advertisers and the BCA.
