The premiere for the display is November 26 at noon. The display will remain operational until January 8, 2011. Detailed information can be found here.
The display will use the Gaffney Display Company animated figures used in the windows of Breuner's department stores for decades -- in a new display created by local artists. Here are some vintage scenes of the Bruener's displays via my Flickr pals (and real-life friends):
