Scott and Sons Hardware's storefront window is the Christmas centrepiece in downtown Renfrew.
"We started it about 1950, mid-50's using toys mainly," Scott tells CTV News."That's what we were in at Christmas time, a big toy business." "You see all these kids lined up and they're all pointing and looking and stuff like this. It makes a difference; we do it for the kids mainly.""Won't miss it. Weather doesn't matter," says Bob Drouillard.The long-time Renfrew resident says he has been bringing his family out every Christmas Eve for as long as he can remember to take a photo in front of the Scott's display.
"Because it's gone on for 65, 70 years, people grew up as children coming down here and looking at the display," said Scott."And now we have people coming down that are bringing their grandchildren to see the display."
