Restoring an Iconic Holiday Display for Generations to Enjoy
Scenic Solutions proudly partnered with the Dayton Holiday Festival to preserve and refresh one of Dayton’s most cherished traditions—the Rike’s Wonderland Window Displays. Originally installed in the windows of the Rike’s Department Store in downtown Dayton, these whimsical holiday scenes have enchanted families for decades and now continue to bring joy to new generations.
Detailed Restoration of Mechanical Window Displays
Reviving Nostalgia Through Careful Craftsmanship
Our team of artisans and technicians restored each display with careful attention to detail, ensuring that the charm, movement, and character of the original pieces were maintained.
- Repaired and repainted aging figurines and scenery
- Replaced worn-out mechanical parts and motors
- Cleaned and reinforced delicate materials while preserving their original textures and colors
Mechanical Upgrades for Reliable Performance
To ensure long-term durability and smooth operation throughout the holiday season, we upgraded motor components and internal mechanics—allowing for continuous, reliable animation in public viewing windows.
