  1. Fairs

    Share Share Post
    Fairs were generally held in villages, towns, and cities long ago. They used pay custom also. They used charge 3D for cattle that was sold and 2d for sheep that was sold. They charged nothing for unsold cattle or sheep. Where the fair is held is called a fair green. They used always to give a "luck penny" long ago. There is a fair held monthly in Ennis.
