Occurs the week before Labor Day every year, in conjunction with the Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration in Northfield, the weekend after Labor Day.
Check out the DJJD web site for more information!
Oh, and its important to note. The "Defeat Of" Part is very important. Northfield doesn't celebrate the outlaws, but rather the local townspeople who sacrificed themselves and became heros in order to defeat the James-Younger gang.
