    There is a fair held in Ballycroy from October to April. It is held the last Wednesday of every month. There is a fair in it to day. A good deal of people attend the fair. The people bring cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs to the fair and sell them. Buyers come from all parts, to the fair to buy stock. Standings come too and sell clothes, boots, shoes and suits at the fair. A good deal of people buy things at the fair. The people at the standings sell things very cheap. It is very nice to go to the fair and buy sweets apples and oranges or whatever a one would like.
