  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    There is a lot of fairs held in different towns and places, and in more places there are only markets. There is a market in Ballyforan every two weeks. In olden times there were not many fairs like now-a-days. Sometimes fairs are held in villages and in fair greens. There are buyers and sellers at every fair.
    People come to fairs to buy and sell their animals when they are selling they make a bargain and have some-one along with them
