Bob’s win was sweet

COHEN’S Chemist in Stacksteads carried on the good work started at Bacup and Stacksteads Carnival with Stacksteads Countryside Park Group by holding a competition to guess the number of sweets in the jar.

Their target for the event was £400, and the poor weather at the start of the day meant the takings fell a little short – so Cohen’s raised the difference.

Bob Hoey won the jar by correctly guessing 383 sweets, and will share the prize with his grandchildren. ●● Tom Daniels, Imran Zaman, Emma Coyle, Carol Bulmer, Clare Blakeley, Sarah Croisdale and Katie Lord with winner Bob Hoey
