13.00: Children sell toys and other used items at the cloth market.

11am: Despite some start-up problems, Putten saw another beautiful parade in recent weeks. There were many spectators along the side of the road.

09.00 am: While lazing around, a scooter rider fell on the Roosendaalseweg. Contrary to earlier reports, the driver was not injured. The scooter was severely damaged. A parked van also suffered some damage to the front.

5 a.m.: Many young people gathered with mopeds, quads, dirt bikes and an old buggy in the parking lot of SDC Putten. After some test runs on the site, approximately 150 vehicles left at 5 a.m. sharp with a lot of noise for a tour through the residential areas of Putten to wake up the ‘lazy’ people. ‘Lazing’ seems to be becoming an ever-increasing tradition.
