  1. The local Fairs are always held in towns. A pig and cattle fair is held every fortnight in Listowel. There is a fair held in the village of Abbeydorney once a year it is called the Fair of the Cross. It is three weeks and three days before Christmas. Luck money is always given in the sale of any animal. The animals that are sold are marked with blue or red paint. In some cases the halter or rope is given away and in more cases it is not.
