[citation needed] The fair is located in the centre of the village near the horse market.
The event enjoys popularity and large attendance by Dutch, German and Belgian horsetraders.
The organization of the event involves a lot of volunteers, including a local choir.
In a letter to the provincial council the organisers ask permission to hold the market on the third Tuesday in October.
Nowadays it is considered more likely that this market was located in Noordlaren at the time and held was in may instead of the fall.
