The important fairs in this county were held in Waterford, Portlaw, Dungarvan, and Kilmacthomas.
Of these Portlaw is the one that has been discontinued.
An old fair is still held in Waterford on the 4th May. This used to be a bull-fair, when there were no bull shows.
Another of the old fairs is the "onion fair", which is held on the 25th Oct.
The farmers used to bring onions to the fair to sell them but this was discontinued some years ago.
The Kilmacthomas fair is held on the last Tuesday of every month.
This fair is noted at this time of year for sheep, because it is a little village at the foot of the mountain.
Another fair which was called a hiring fair was held in Kilmacthomas on the 12th May.
Boys, and girls used to be at this
