  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    The local fair is held in Ballyfarnon. The fair is held on the street. Toll is paid on cattle sold. When the bargain is made men show their agreement by striking hands and spitting.
    The cattle are marked by clipping with a scissors. The halter is only given with a horse. The November fair is the best one. Pigs horses and sheep are all sold at the one fair.
