    It was nice to see something different happening for a change over the weekend but I dont think it was a major success. Very bad crowd at the gig rig and less than half of the promised stall holders turned up for the farmers market.

    Likewise the vintage stuff was a bit of a flop but still there were a few positives.

    Never heard anything about this which is probably half the problem, no one knew, however its got to start somewhere and maybe they will learn for next year

    ROI Bank Holidays never do much for Donegal in the way that NI bank holidays used to though they are hit hard with sterling difference.

    Still better to start off small and build it up over a few years

    They had a farmer;s market in Ballebofey at one time; we had a stall there once.. it was dead, They tried to revive it again.. a man called John Long but not sure what happened to that either.
