Employees of the Museum of Dionisy’s Frescoes hold an event titled “Winter Amusements” last Saturday, on January 26. The day was wonderful - the weather was sunny, windless and not cold. The holiday was opened with the performance of Elena Vyazigina that cheered up all people without exception.
This event was destined for family rest and attraction of local residents to the museum activity. 350 people participated in it. The playing entertaining program prepared by students of the Vologda Regional Training School of Culture included contests, games and a relay. Children and adults took part in them with pleasure and received sweets gifts. The most active visitors of museum exhibitions were given toys. Everybody could have their pictures taken against the background of snow figures made for the contest “Winter fantasies”. Its participants also got prizes and were greatly pleased.
During the holiday, kids enjoyed sliding and snow tubing. Sometimes grown-ups joined them as well. Local craftsmen presented their articles in the museum and delivered master-classes in pottery, birth bark weaving, lace making, and wood carving. Besides, a lot of guests gathered on the ground floor of the Refectory to see a puppet-show of the Nativity. The holiday culminated in the storming of the snow fortress.
The museum employees received numerous favourite reviews. Guests suggested that such wonderful events should be organized as often as possible.
But even when the “Winter Amusements” came to an end, people didn’t go away; they danced, sledged and just walked admiring the unique nature of Ferapontovo.
