Ballisodare Carnival, Co. Sligo

We found a reference to the Ballisodare Carnival in November, 1952, which was unusual,
but it was an "indoor" carnival. It was not mentioned again until 1957 and at that point it 
appeared to have become a fully fledged modern carnival with a marquee for dancing. It appears from newspaper
ads that the carnival ran until 1962 and then disappeared until 1975 when it was held again.
We cannot find any other mention of the carnival after 1975.
