- The local fairs are held in Portarlington, Rathangan, and Monasterevan. The town fairs are held on the streets. Luck money is given when an animal is sold and it is called the "luck penny" When a bargain has been made the parties concerned show agreement by striking hands. When an animal is sold he is marked with an X or some people just put a stroke on its hip. When he is sold the halter or rope is generally given away with the animal. The big fairs are held in Tullamore, Portarlington and Edenderry.
