From the stage, the honored guests congratulated the audience on the event and noted that the Sakhalin Sabantui annually unites hundreds of townspeople and strengthens good-neighborly relations between the residents of the multinational island region.

Those interested could measure their strength in national games and competitions. The most spectacular were the exciting fights of the athletes in the “Keresh” wrestling – they were distinguished by a special passion and fighting spirit. And the young guests of the holiday spent time on the playground with contests, quizzes, sports and horseback riding.

By tradition, the activists and organizers of this wonderful children’s holiday were honored. They were presented with Letters of Gratitude.
