When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

at Bueckeburg\'s Castle
I\'ve been to the Landpartie in Bueckeburg. :-)
It\'s a three-day fair organized by local royalty (the Fuerst) on the castle\'s grounds (inside the castle and in the surrounding park) where you can buy everything from potted plants, to clothes and jewelry, and gazeebos for your garden/yard. It includes traditional equestrian presentations, a ball, a competition for the best hat, etc.
Situating the fair on the castle\'s grounds lends the cachet of \"royalty\" to a purely commercial venture. You have to pay a fee to acquire the privilege, so to speak, of buying something at this fair. Brilliant strategy! ;-)
Though these are other options:
an Outing to a Fair in the Country
an Outing to a Country Fair,
I\'d stick with *an Outing in the Country* if you want to offer the same translation for both (the fair and the TV programme)
