Once the last remnant of the bird has fallen, the new king will be installed.
At 15.30 there will then be the air rifle shooting for the youth up to 18 years old. Who will take the place of the current youth fair king Ralf van der Bruggen? At 4pm follows the King's Cross shooting, cross locks must be purchased by 3.30pm. Finally, at 6pm, both ladies and men over 18 may compete for the title of fair king or queen. This title does not create any obligation towards the guild. It is only for honour and fun.
Unfortunately, they have to say goodbye to fair queen 2023: Marita van der Heijden. But no doubt she will join the battle to take the title once again.
