This view over Clayton is absolutely beautiful! Terrific photo, thanks for sharing!

🌈 Sometimes nature gives us a picture-perfect ending to the day.

This stunning rainbow stretched over the Clayton Government Center on Monday evening, creating a beautiful reminder of the beauty that can be found right here in our community.

A special thank you to the Clayton Fire Department for capturing and sharing this incredible photo with us!

My first proclamation as the Mayor of Clayton was recognizing America’s 250th anniversary of becoming a nation. I’m honored I was able to do this, the timing worked out well.

The United States is a great nation, yet far from perfect. While our country gets a lot right, we still have our challenges… and we have the freedom and liberty to pursue overcoming them.

All the best to you and our great nation as we celebrate our 250th Independence Day.

Happy Mothers Day! Give your mother a call (or a hug if she is local) and tell her you love her and thank her for all she has done for you. We don’t know what tomorrow brings, but we do know that today we can be thankful.

A huge thank you to all of our Clayton public servants! They all do a fantastic job, and many of them take on multiple roles to ensure steady operations of the city. As a city, we are blessed to have such a dedicated team!

Next time you see a Clayton public servant, please thank them for their service, I know they will appreciate the recognition.

During Public Service Recognition Week, we take time to recognize the people who make our community stronger every day.

Whether responding to emergencies, maintaining our roads and parks, supporting residents, or keeping operations running behind the scenes, public servants play a vital role in the quality of life we enjoy in Clayton.

We are grateful for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving others. 💚

A beautiful day with a slight chill, just right to get out and check out A Bushel and a Peck over on Haber Rd near the high school. Some great deals on their products plus fun rides and food trucks to enjoy the day!
