    some make a bargain by clapping their hands. There is a fair in Ballyforan every month. It is a pig fair.
    People come there to sell their pigs. There is also a fair in Ballygar once a month. It is held on Thursdays and Saturday's. In some places people have to pay sixpence to get into the green with cattle or sheep.
