- Long ago there used be one fair in Kilbrittain each year on November 22nd. People drove turkeys there on foot. My mother told me that her mother used to drive the turkeys there from near Bandon a distance of 7 miles. They used leave him at 3 a.m. with a lantern and arrive in Kilbrittain at 5.30 a.m. or 6 a.m. The turkey fair was on the street. They also sold pigs and cattle there. Some people even sold geese there.
William O'Driscoll, Burrin told me the fair was stopped years ago because the police and people had a row and a man was shot. The buyers ceased to come there afterwards.
Máire Wade used to drive geese along the road to Bandon market 50 years ago from her home called Máire Wade's wood. The wood was about 1 1/2 miles on the Kilbrittain side of Carey's Cross. There is now a little foot-bridge over a stream near where the wood then stood.
My grandmother was Mrs. McCarthy of Meelan Bandon. Sixty years ago she drove the turkeys to Kilbrittain fair.- Faisnéiseoir
