    Departure to the country interactive program: Welcome to the secret Workshop of Grandfather Hull! A place where the Christmas spirit hovers, and a forgotten fairy tale comes to life! 
     
    Here, in the heart of Karelia, in a remote forest, is the Karelian estate of Grandfather Hull, the most hardworking of the Morozov brothers. The landlady Inkeri and his helpers, the housekeepers, live with him. The most favorite activity of housewives is telling children fairy tales around the campfire and treating them to delicious marshmallows. 
     
    Getting into the estate is not easy. It is necessary to pass the tests: to master the skill of skiing – shukshah and sleigh – smoking. Did you manage? And now to the workshops!
     
    For the youngest guests, the "School of Housewives" is open, where children will be taught magic tricks and test their skills in making New Year's toys. At this time, adults will learn the Karelian dance and make a talisman with their own hands, which they will take with them as a souvenir. 
     
    Well, where is Hull's Grandfather? He watched your efforts and is now waiting for everyone in his office. Remember – the most important and cherished desires can be whispered in his ear!
