Festival of Childhood
On June 1, Ust-Kamenogorsk celebrated International Children’s Day. The city authorities organized a grand celebration for children near the new drama theatre. Animators entertained the kids with various contests, followed by a concert featuring dombra players and dance ensembles. Afterwards, all the children were invited into the new theatre to watch a production of “Little Muck.” Coaches from the East Kazakhstan Regional Specialized Children and Youth Sports School of the Olympic Reserve (SDYUSSHOR) for Athletics held the now-traditional “Funny Starts” competition. The children navigated ball relays, hurdles, and other obstacles with great sporting enthusiasm. At the end, all participants received commemorative gifts.
