The Victoria Theatre Association unveiled the final installment of the re-designed Rike’s Wonderland Windows Nov. 26, 2019, at a special event for donors, designers, staff and their families. Designed by critically acclaimed theater and opera set designer and Dayton native, Adam Koch, along with Adam Koch Associates’ partner Steven Royal, the animated elves and animals have been a holiday tradition for Dayton families. The elves first appeared in the windows of Rike’s Department Store in the 1940s. The Rike’s Wonderland Windows displays are free and open to the public and can be viewed inside the Schuster Center lobby starting Friday, Nov. 29, 2019. TOM GILLIAM/CONTRIBUTED
