On August 1, the Achterhoek Spektakel Toer was in Vorden. This village was once dominated by the residents of eight castles. Of these Heeckerens, Van Vorden or Van Hackforts is nothing left and there will not tear Vorden people to leave. Vorden is a modern village, which eagerly told of the past and where the old customs are kept alive with pleasure. Time does not stop here however. Vorden is in modern life "in Broes and Zoes" are underway.

On July 25, the Achterhoek Spektakel Toer was in Lichtenvooorde. Glories Lichtenvoorde was purchased once as William V. personal area and Beatrix is still Lady of Lichtenvoorde. Now it is a modern place, where one is busy building for the future. The people do not take it very heavy even when they dragged a twenty-ton boulder from the Vragender field to the market. With a man or what that should be possible!

On July 18, the Achterhoek Spektakel Toer was in Lochem. This rural town is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Gelderland. The scenic landscape is still largely intact and behind every bush and every wooden bank is yet another piece of farmland with monumental farms. The core of Lochem still exudes the rustic atmosphere, still has the look of yesteryear. The old town hall, the church and here and there a building were already there at the time of the Hay pickers. By war and fire, much of the old Lochem disappeared. The new buildings, however, have not really changed the character of the city. Lochem remains a pleasant walk and commercial city.

On July 10, 2010 a great dance event was held in the Center Wijchen. Wijchense various associations had not only sent their top dancers, but also had considered the novice dancers. Presenter Menno Kluver of Dansstudio Swing not only had to announce his own dance school, but also of Stella van Wanrooij and De Stroming. They all did their best to make a perfect performance despite the heat.
