In anticipation of the Day of Agricultural Workers and the Agro-Industrial Complex, Cherikov hosted a district festival and fair for rural workers called "Dozhinki-2026."

The main celebration took place at the district House of Culture and its surrounding area. From early morning, organizations from the Cherikov district showcased their homesteads to festival and fair attendees.

On this chilly autumn morning, the Cherikov branch of Auto Park No. 20 treated visitors to authentic Belarusian potato pancakes and hot tea. The district’s educational institutions named their homestead "Pirozhok" and delighted both locals and visitors with a variety of pies and pastries. Cultural institutions presented traditional flavors, including porridge made from ancestral recipes. "Just like in childhood," said district head Alexei Zhernosekov, tasting the dish.

The homestead of KSUPI "Agrocomplex Svetly" was traditionally the most abundant, showcasing its own produce in all its glory. Notably, the Dozhinki fair offered agricultural products for sale, and locals eagerly took advantage of this opportunity.

Cherikov’s builders treated guests to pancakes, kolduny, potato pancakes, and pies, while the homesteads of KSUPI "Ezersky" and OAO "Cherikov Agro" warmly welcomed visitors. Meanwhile, masters from the Cherikov State College cooked borscht directly on the festival grounds.

For the first time, the district’s veteran activists presented their homestead at the district Dozhinki. On their hundredth plot, they cultivated the golden treasures of Cherikov region—pumpkins, onions, beets, and other vegetables—and brought out homemade pickles from their cellars.

The harvest festival was delicious, appetizing, and truly bountiful. """
