- There was only one local fair. It was called Beale Fair. That fair is unknown to the young people. It was usually held on the 21st of September and if the 21st happened to fall on Saturday the fair would be put back until Monday. It is said that cattle and sheep were sold there at that time and toll was received. Buyers did attend the fair. As time went on and other fairs were there no cattle or sheep were sold at Beale Fair but at the same time a pattern of the day is kept. Races and sports are carried on at Beale Fair. Luck money was paid. It was called a luck-penny. It is said the animal sold wouldn't be lucky if the luck money wasn't paid.
