provinciale markt/jaarmarkt


Explanation:
County = distrikt, provincie, graafschap
Lots of fairs are being held in Flanders and people refer to these as '(lokale) jaarmarkt, tentoonstelling, beurs,...'.

If you use 'provinciale markt', you'll be sticking to your source text

E.g.:

Op 22 september 1952 kiekte onze fotograaf de eerste provinciale markt voor TBC-vrij kweekvee in Brecht in het noorden van het provincie Antwerpen. De besmettelijke ziekte kwam toen veel voor en bracht zware schade toe aan de kwekers, zodat op de gezichten van deze foto's niet alleen tevredenheid maar ook opluchting af te lezen is. De belangstelling was groot, de controles ook.

Explanation:
County Fair : a fair is seen here as a 'markt'. It is a time when everybody can buy things very cheap.
County means local. So a county fair is a local market on specific times and days where you can get cheaper things.
