Perhaps you grew up enjoying lunch in the Walnut Room after viewing the world-famous holiday windows along State Street. Maybe it was a special trip into Chicago to visit Santa in Cozy Cloud Cottage. Or the transcendent experience of the legendary State Street store decked out in exquisite holiday regalia.
Amy passionately shares the rich history, behind the scenes sneak peaks, and unique experiences of these holiday traditions sharing the stories of the artists, vendors, and craftsmen who brought the famed animated windows, Main Aisle decor, and the Great Tree to life, year after year, for Marshall Field’s and Macy’s. Amy’s 45-minute breath-taking presentation includes rare photos, one-of-a-kind ornament samples, ephemera, and tales from the trenches—and after 25 years of managing the display department, there are stories!
