From the very morning, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and festivity. One of the brightest features of the fair was the <strong>creative decoration of the tables<\/strong> \u2014 each was not just a sales spot but a true <strong>calling card<\/strong> of a faculty or student group. Embroidered towels, napkins, tablecloths, clay dishes, baskets, and autumn decorations \u2014 compositions of pumpkins, viburnum, wheat, leaves, apples, and other gifts of the season \u2014 added to the festive and authentic mood, reminding everyone of <strong>Ukrainian folk traditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\" wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447-202x135.jpg 202w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/med_0447.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Students and staff brought <strong>homemade pastries, cupcakes, cookies, gingerbread, cakes, sandwiches, savory snacks<\/strong>, and even <strong>traditional Ukrainian dishes<\/strong> such as <strong>borsch<\/strong> and <strong>varenyky<\/strong> (dumplings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">It was especially heartwarming to see the <strong>unity of the university community<\/strong>.
