- About forty years ago Tom McGuigan of Anasera was home from America.St John's night came round and he decided to hold a bonfire. He brought coal and tar and turf. He brought five or six barrels of stout. There was a deck erected. Then the drinking and dancing began. St Marys band played and drinking and dancing carried on until morning.
