- The Local Fairs.There was a fair held in Scar on the eleventh of June, but it was discontinued in 1918.
There used to be a fair held in Carrig-on-Bannow long ago.
Bridgetown and Taghmon are the nearest local fairs to us now.
When cattle are sold a luck-penny is always given.When the men concerned cannot come to an agreement one man holds out his hand and the other man and says "Divide a pound divide ten shillings etc.
The animals are marked by mud on the flank or by clipping a certain mark on the side.
The fair in Scar is now discontinued on account of the scarcity of people going to the fair.
The fairs held in the towns are nearly always held in the streets.Carmel Roche
