Season's Greetings Parking Notice
To most people, Santa Claus is a jolly man wearing a red suit and riding in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer. But to about 1,000 persons who left their cars parked too long at Clayton parking meters, Santa Claus is a friendly man in a blue uniform riding a motorcycle. And that description of Jolly Old St. Nick has been true for about the last 20 years in Clayton. That is how long the Clayton Police Department has been playing Santa Claus by handing out green notices rather than parking tickets to drivers who let that little red violation tag pop up on their parking meter a day or two before Christmas.
