Hospitable Polotsk "sets the table" two kilometers long

May 24, Polotsk / Diana Kurilo – BELTA /. Hospitable Polotsk, in honor of its anniversary, is "setting a table" two kilometers long for its guests, the Polotsk City Executive Committee told a BELTA correspondent. For three festive days, from morning until midnight, on Frantsisk Skorina Avenue and Gogol Street, producers from the Dvina region, trade and public catering enterprises will "set a table" two kilometers long. 48 economic entities of the region will present their products. The trade fair, named "Ribbon of Time," is designed for 2,000 seats and is divided into several time segments: "Ancient Polotsk," "Princely Polotsk," "Enlightenment Polotsk," "Merchant Polotsk," "Polotsk Fair," "Polotsk of the 20th Century," "Modern Polotsk." Each time segment has its own color symbol and characters. For example, "Ancient Polotsk" will be presented in burgundy and the color of unbleached linen. Guests will be met there by a Krivich man and woman in linen shirts. "Polotsk of the 20th Century" will transport visitors to Soviet times. Plows, sacks of grain, a cart, and the slogan: "Come to our collective farm, comrade!" will surely make older generations recall the past. The territory, half a kilometer long, will be occupied by the courtyards of the district centers of the Vitebsk region, where catering facilities and exhibitions-sales of handicrafts will be located. About 300 artisans will take part in the "City of Masters." The celebrations dedicated to the 1150th anniversary of Polotsk will begin on May 25. Festive events will be held in the city until June 5. -0-
