Ireland's oldest and quirkiest street fair takes place in the remote Kerry town of Killorglin, this week-end - or should we say - "week"? 
The booze will be flowing and there will be plenty of "craic" - "fun" to you and me - as can be expected. The central focus of this 400-year old festival is the "crowning" of "King Puck", a feral billy goat, which is captured for the purpose. Puck is let go after the festival is over. A young 12-year old girl, who has been chosen through a local competition, will officiate at the "crowning" ceremony.
