WE KNOW… IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS YET!

Summer is winding down, school is about to begin, and the holidays probably aren’t the first thing on your mind just yet!

But we wanted to give everyone plenty of time to plan, decorate, and get creative because the Clayton Snowman Contest is returning!

Registration is now open, so you can get a head start on your snowman before the busy holiday season arrives.

Choose your category:
Clayton Pride– Show your love for Clayton!
Most Creative – Let your imagination shine!
Classic/Festive – Traditional, classic and festive designs!

Snowmen will be displayed late November through December.

Whether you're bringing back a favorite snowman or creating something completely new, we can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this year!
