  1. The local fairs for this parish are held in Ferbane Gallan Athlone and Cloghan.
    Before the fair buyers oftentimes come to the farmers houses, and buy their cattle and they sometimes get a bargain.
    The farmers are bound to pay a penny in the pound, but they usually pay more more so that the beast may be lucky.
    People have different ways for marking cattle, raddle, chalk, mud.
