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.

Prices range from $40 to $300 per issue depending on the size of the ad. Annual subscribers receive a 10% discount. Tax will be added to the invoice.

First time advertisers who purchase a subscription of ads marked with a star (*) receive a free half-page profile (225 words plus photo).

The BCA does not endorse or guarantee products or services sent in for the BANAR or take responsibility for the print or web quality, copyright infringements of photos, artwork or text provided by advertisers for the BANAR or BCA website.
