Summary

Six thousand pounds of candy, 15 employees and 200 glue guns. That’s what it took to create a little holiday cheer on Main Street when ZCMI designed its candy windows every year.

Can you add some pictures to this story? I wish I lived in SLC so that I could go in person to see these windows. Sounds magical.

Thank heavens for a business who give back to the Holidays with little chance of making money. I was present last year for their magnificent display. There were many more of us who could never to afford to stay there than patrons of the hotel. Good More..

A picture of the windows and displays would have been a nice touch to an article speaking of something very visual.
