  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    The fairs are held in the town in this district. Buying and selling go on at farmer's houses now, and long ago.
    The fairs are held in the fair-green at the old castle in Manorhamilton.
    When a bargain is made the man claps the seller's hand, to show the bargain is made.
    The animals are marked with red paint, and a piece of string, when they are sold.
    When horses are sold the halters is given with them.
