    Local Fairs
    Long ago fairs used to be very big in Multy but now there are none at all. They used to be held outside Multy on the Green which is a very big field. The field used to be packed with cattle and the road from the Green up to the Station used to be packed with cattle also. At that time money used to be plentiful and cattle were cheap. So Multy was very lively.
