Future workers received their employment record books, a bag of delicious treats, and ibucks – a special currency created for the participants of the festival. Children could exchange their ibucks for hot chocolate and rides.Everything was ‘real’ in the City of Professions. To start working, youngsters had to wear special uniform and listen to safety instructions. Future firefighters trained in fire extinguishing using hoses, doctors learned to perform closed-chest massage and artificial respiration, pastry chefs baked muffins and cooked pancakes, artists painted their masterpieces, and detectives had to solve crimes.
