   Coolstuff, pattern, 15th August.

   The biggest patterns of the district are those held in Adamstown, Galbally, and Whitechurch. On the day of the pattern very large crowds attend. Donkey cars are used as "standings" for selling sweets cakes and minerals. Long ago half pints of whiskey used to be sold "in the quiet" at the patterns. But there is nothing like that now.

   The patterns are attended mostly by women. Few men attend. At funerals, in this district, women never attend funerals they only attend patterns.

   Recorded from Mick Kelly, Taghmon, 62 years.
