- There was a fair held in Nadrid about 60 years ago. It was a yearly fair. They used to be faction fighting. There was a man killed there once and a flower grows there in the part of the field where he was killed and it is in bloom most of the year. It is in Dan Mahoney's land the fair used to be held. That was the time the Black Walk was made, as a passage to the fair.
