    The Local Fairs.
    The local fair is held in Tullamore every month. It is held on the streets. It is always held in the town. When the animals are sold the seller of the animal gives luck-money to the buyer for him to have luck with the animal.
    When the animal is sold they mark them with mud or chalk. Every second Tuesday is kept as the market day for the big. Every Tuesday is kept as a market for egg and fowl and people nearly always go to town on a Tuesday to do the market.
