Last Saturday, the first family festival "Small Town – big Family", held within the framework of the "Year of the Family with Ruspolimet" project, was "lit" in the city - a festive, grandiose event, the like of which Kulebaks have not yet seen! The festival is timed to coincide with the 158th anniversary of the birth of the city-forming enterprise JSC Ruspolimet. Thus, the plant shared its joy with the families of metallurgists, residents of the city, in whose families children grow up – the future of our city and the plant!
Pavel Gennadievich Igoshin, Director of Production at Ruspolimet JSC, Chairman of the Council of Deputies of Kulebaki city, congratulated the guests of the festival. In his speech, P.G.Igoshin emphasized the importance and value of the family in the life of the country and every person.
Families wishing to prove themselves competed in the contests "Intellectual Family", "Sports Family" and "Creative Family". The tasks in the contests were very diverse, sometimes unexpected, but fun and exciting. Children participated together with their parents. The winners received certificates and the main prize – a hot air balloon flight.
The atmosphere of celebration, fun and unity captured everyone. Animators worked with young children in specially designated areas, so that parents who were busy completing competitive tasks could completely immerse themselves in the creative process for a short time. Many families expressed a desire to participate in various master classes on making kaleidoscopes, painting shoppers, creating bracelets from letters, mini-paintings on easels, then receiving works and souvenirs made with their own hands. The children became active participants in the foam show, the illusionist show, and enjoyed watching an interesting puppet show. A storm of emotions was aroused among the guests of the festival by the life-sized dolls, who nimbly moved on stilt stands, actively improvised on the move and willingly took pictures with everyone.
The evening was continued by a guest from Moscow, the author and singer of songs Vyacheslav Bykov, who performed his song hits, and the Nizhny Novgorod cover band "Trends". The closing of the festival was a spectacular and expressive fire show and an open-air film screening.
The continuation of the festive Saturday event was organized by the enterprise as part of the celebration of the Year of the family in Russia, the festival of large families "Big Family - the support of Russia", where the award ceremony for large families was held. On the twenty-fifth of August, the great hall of the Dubrovsky Palace of Culture was full for the occasion. The factory welcomed the guests with hospitably laid tables. After a small buffet, a bright and spectacular event began. The festival was opened by Viktor Vladimirovich Klochai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ruspolimet JSC, who became the initiator and ideological inspirer of the holiday. The topic of family is very close to Viktor Vladimirovich, since he himself is a father with many children. He raised two sons and a daughter, and helps raise eight grandchildren.
To loud applause, the factory families – the winners of the nominations and the creative competition - one after another took to the stage, where they were honored with flowers and awards of the enterprise – certificates, prizes and gifts.
A gift for the holiday to all the creative families of Ruspolimet JSC were: shows, aerialist numbers, solo performances of modern hits by artists of Nizhny Novgorod, a performance by the Kulebak dance group Versailles, etc. And, of course, the show of famous illusionists Safronov brothers caused a storm of emotions. The numbers performed by them were beyond the human perception of reality and caused both delight and bewilderment: is this possible? Emotions literally overwhelmed everyone.
The incendiary performances of the performers, the festive atmosphere and gifts created a good mood for the factory workers and made the holiday dedicated to the factory families unforgettable!
