    girls who were in search of employment used to attend this fair. The girls used to wear white bands on their arms. The boys used to carry short ash rods.
    The cattle that would not be sold at Ballinasloe fair would come to Bective. There were two gates on the fair green. The cattle that would be sold would go out one gate and the unsold out the other.
