I don't usually venture in here, but thought I'd throw up a few photos from the Horse Fair in Ballinasloe.

is there any bins on streets in ballinasloe or is it the week of horse fair people don t used them? because the place was full of litter last year

Funny you should say that because we carried our chip papers from one of the burger vans all the back to our car which was parked outside St. Brigids - we never passed a bin on the way.

I love the 'dressed to kill' picture. Why do you say the rescue was 'staged'? (context, I clicked on the pictures and looked at the full album)

i have been going to the fair with the past few yrs, and this yr i could not beleive the it, i was there on saturday yesterday, and it was way down, about half the stalls and crowds,
we had hoped to stay near city for night as we are a four hour drive from there, but with acommodation prices, we decided to drive home again on the same day.
when we factor in petrol price for car, eating out, and a bit of pocket money, if we could have found a place with a price of say one hundred euro for the two of us for bed and breakfast, we would have stayed, but those that had vacencies were at the upper prices.
we even looked last minuit offers, and still the same story.
so we were good and tired this morning.
