  2. An Old Fair

    Share Share Post
    Fairs were held in Ballyhaise about seventy years ago.
    They were discontinued and an attempt was made to re-start then about 15 years ago. After a few fairs were held, people gave up coming to them. There is a fair green in the village but when the fairs were restarted, the buying and selling were done on the street. No buyers came from a distance. The buying was done by local dealers and farmers.
