“In the past the word "Fair" had a much wider significance than it has now a days.”
In the past the word "Fair" had a much wider significance than it has now a days. There were Fairs in Greece and Rome and the great Fair of Teltown was being held when St. Patrick arrived in Tara. Up to about sixty years ago an annual Fair was held at Inchinagotagh in the field opposite Mr Hall's house. Down by the stream there was a Pound. At the fair prizes were given for best weaving, best spinning and for athletic feats etc. It was " the day " for all the young people of the countryside and hawkers used come from far off places to sell their wares. A local poet - Barret of Lissane describes the Fair in the following stanzas.
" Divarsion aerach chuaidh ar an aonach
Bhí mórán éirim daoine ann,
Bhí ceólta néáta spórt is 'scléip
Feóil 'á ghléás 'cun bídh ann.
(2)Bhí mórán éirim " kerry-cow " maol ann,
Ó Bhaile Mhistéala aníos ann,
Plúr, na laogh súid arán sínséara,
Is cóis is " scales " 'á ndíol ann
(3)Seafaidín maol do cheannuigh Seán Leán ann
Bhí sí daor a dóthain
Trí púint sé seacht scilling is raol
Ní bhfaigfí an laogh gan choróinn deich(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
