\n\nSchmalz Family Holiday Village
\n\nThe Schmalz Family Village display was inspired by childhood holiday spirit. Starting in the 1960&rsquo\;s\, Larry Schmalz and his wife Diana began by acquiring motionettes and decorations. These moving display characters were left over from the late 1940&rsquo\;s and early 1950&rsquo\;s window displays from Downtown Cincinnati retail shops such as Dodd&rsquo\;s Jewelers\, Shillito&rsquo\;s and Pogues\; the very same stores Larry window shopped as a child. Soon after\, the two car garage began to transition into what the family knows &ldquo\;The Christmas Room&rdquo\;. &ldquo\;The Christmas Room&rdquo\; grew over the years to include a collection of Santa music boxes\, a twelve foot tree\, holiday train and mountain scene\, and the Caroler Village- modeled after the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. After the passing of Larry Schmalz\, the family offered the display to Cincinnati Parks as a donation so that the community can share in the spirit of the season\, just as their family had.
