- The local fairs are held in Ballybay Monaghan, Cootehill and Clones. The dealers do not come to the crossroads to buy cattle. There used to be a fair in Newbliss village but it was discontinued.There is a field set apart for sale cattle, it is called a "Cow Green". If a horse is sold the halter is given away with the horse. The dealers clap their hands to show their agreement on a bargain. A luch[?} luck[?] penny is returned to the man who is paying for the animal this is usually a half - crown or five shillings.
