Contests and competitions were also organized for adults, where they could demonstrate their athletic skills and daring, for example, in tug of war or conquering the Maslenitsa pole. And in the tent of the Union of Gardeners of Russia, all guests were traditionally treated to hot tea and Vyatka sweets.
