Baikal and Angara hold a half-hour performance at the stand, where they tell about Irkutsk region and then ask visitors questions. The most attentive guests get memorable prizes in the form of a real cedar cone. One of its scales imitates gold, because the region presents itself at VDNH under the motto "Irkutsk region is the golden link of Russia".

In addition, cultural volunteers from the Irkutsk Regional Youth Library named after I. P. Utkin hold a quiz Babr's Land at the stand. It introduces the industry, cultural heritage of the Angara region, folk traditions, nature, famous people. The winners of the quiz also receive gifts.
