    the fair was over droves of cattle used to pass on out road to the ranched of Meath and Westmeath to be fattened. After the fair, boys and girls used to dance on the street. Then they would go home longing for the next fair to come.
    These three stories were got from Miss Mary Mc Nally. Killasonna. She is now 74 years.
