A FEAST"of fun fo r the whole family is promised when Whalley Corn Mills holds a charity Open Day next Sunday, September 24th. Located at Brook House Farm, just of f the B6426 Mitton Road, on the outskirts of the village, Whalley Corn Mills is one of the region's leading retailers of equestrian and pet feeds, supplies and accessories. Its large purpose-built store boasts top brand equestrian clothing, plus general coun- trywear and footwear all at very competitive prices. It is also packed with tack and other accessories and stocks the full range of highly acclaimed Baileys Horse Feeds, which have a proven track record of success. Feeds from other leading sup­ pliers are also available, together with a wide range of feed supplements and nutrients, hay and hayiage and all types of bedding, with a delivery service available. The well-stocked store also caters for other pets, with an impressive range of foods and accessories all available under one roof. A specialist dog grooming service is also available. Next Sunday's Open Day is the third such charity event staged by the Townson family, who own and operate Whalley Corn Mills. Last year's fun day raised more than £450 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, which treats patients from across Ribble Valley, and the Townsons hope to top that total for the same good cause at this year's event, which starts at 11-30 a.m. Among the many attractions are a spectacular falconry display, from the region's largest birds of prey centre, and exciting dog agility demonstrations. Another highlight will be a Parade of Stallions at 1 p.m., showcasing some of the country's finest horses, from Gisburn's renowned End House Stud - another customer o f Baileys Horse Feeds. Open Day visitors are also invited to take along their pet dogs for a Novelty Dog Show, with judg­ ing in several fun classes due to start at 2-30 p.m. Refreshments will be available, including a traditional Hog Roast, and shoppers can take advantage of a range of Open Day special offers and bargains, including a preview of winter country clothing and horse rugs, with significant discounts on existing stock. Some of the store's suppliers will also be on hand with their own special offers and promotions, free samples and expert advice. If you want to snap up a bargain, support a very worthwhile charity, or just have lots of fun, why not go along to Whalley Corn Mills next Sunday and do all three! • If you can't make it to the Open Day, Whalley Corn Mills is open to the general public and well worth a visit at any time. It is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call the store's friendly and helpful staff on 01254 824643.
