    Share Share Post
    The local fairs are held in Rathduff, Mallow and Donoughmore. Buyers often transact business in the country, and come to he farmers' houses buying sheep, pigs, and cattle.
    A fair was held in Blarney and Fairhill but these are discontinued. There is a fairfield in Rathduff and one in Mallow. Toll is paid in Mallow. The toll is twopence on every beast sold.
    When a bargain is made they strike hands to show there agreement. When a a horse is sold the halter is given way with him.
