This popular program SOLD OUT the last three years, so we are bringing it back for another holiday season!
For 100 years Dayton’s department store helped Minnesotans celebrate Christmas.  We will look at how Dayton’s made the Christmas season magical by reviewing various window displays, unique gifts, store promotions, Santa Land, the unforgettable auditorium displays, along with a general history of the Minneapolis retail store.  We will also look at the behind the scenes action by examining anecdotes from the management and the ever-helpful store employees, who made the name Dayton’s synonymous with Christmas shopping.
