This year, the autumn fair and the "Dazhynki" harvest festival coincided on the same Sunday and at the same location – the car park in front of the department store. Both event organizers benefited from this coincidence: fair visitors stayed for "Dazhynki," and harvest festival participants made purchases from village vendors.

The weather favoured trade. Although it was cold, there was no tedious rain that annoyed everyone.

A large amount of produce was brought from the agricultural enterprises "Lepelskoe," "Bobrovo," the joint-stock company "Ladna," the farm "ValBiK," the joint-stock company "Chareyshchina," and the agricultural branch "Zaazerye."

Boris Yafremov, Deputy Chairman of the Regional Agricultural Committee for Mechanisation, presented Diplomas, Honorary Certificates, and prizes of 1,500,000 rubles to the crews of the KZS-1218 combine harvesters who threshed more than 1,500 tons of grain: Anatoly Zhilinsky from the sorting station, Alexander Buinitsky and Sergey Galay, Gennady Mironovich and Vladimir Boradyonok, Petr Dukhovich and Artur Leyko from "Zaazerye."

For increasing crop yields, production, and state sales of oilseeds, the cooperative agricultural enterprise "Lepelskoe" received 100 base units.
