- Traveling folk call at my house very often. The same people have been calling for years. Some of them are poor and some of them rich enough because they have houses drawn by horses. Some sell pictures and small articles people buy from them. The parties I know are "O Reilys", "McDonaghs", Haneys. They also come from the "Pattern of Keadue" that is from the fifteenth of August to the eight of September. They come for fairs in Ballyfarnon.
