- There are fairs held in all the towns and villages such as in Ballyconnell, Ballinamore, Ballymagovern and in the Village of Bawnboy. There is a fair held in Ballymagovern twice each year on the twenty third of November and the twenty third of May. There is also a fair in Ballyconnell once each month. There is a fair for cattle, there is one for horses and there is also one for pigs. When an animal is sold there is a red or blue mark put on his back. Sometimes poor people come to the fair and they sing songs and then they get money from the people.
