WITH Ballinasloe Show moving from its traditional pre-Fair date, the town’s Fair Green will see three weekends of activity. Last Sunday saw the six-acre site double up as a car park while the annual Horse Fair takes place tomorrow, Monday and the following Country Fair Saturday.

The last of the Irish Shows Association’s 2019 All Ireland finals were hosted in the adjacent showgrounds and the advantage of having a dedicated ring for these championships meant a prompt start.
