Lepel Dairy Factory JSC continues to delight the public with their favourite summer dessert – ice cream. In May, 97 tonnes of the refreshing treat were produced, in June – 94 tonnes, and according to data for 28 days of July – 88 tonnes. However, by August, the figure is expected to rise to almost one hundred tonnes. The majority of the total mass is accounted for by plombir (vanilla ice cream), the most calorie-dense variety.

Reader Interest

Gardeners, horticulturists, and housewives are pleased with their harvested crops. Their primary task now is to prepare preserves. They turn to specialised publications for culinary secrets. According to the Central District Library, demand for magazines such as "Ogorodych", "Tsvetniki", "Khozyain", "Sad moey mechty", "Selskaya nov", and "Sad i ogorod" has increased fivefold compared to the winter-spring period. Residents of villages, who use the services of the bibliobus, are particularly frequent enquirers.

Children Have Rested

Over the two summer months, 1143 children rested in the district's children's camps. In June, day camps operated in 18 institutions, engaging 620 children in leisure activities. Alongside these, specialised camps were run based at Borovskaya and Zaslonovskaya schools. The difference between specialised and full-day camps lies in the duration of the stay: nine days for the former and eighteen for the latter. In June, the full-day camp in Borovka accommodated 138 children, and in July, 173. Mid-summer was a non-stop period in Matyrino, where 115 schoolchildren rested. In August, twenty more children will spend an unforgettable time at the Centre for Children and Youth.
