COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — If you park over by Poor Richard's from now until December 23, you will probably see an elf filling the parking meters.
Every year during the weeks leading up to Christmas, Richard Skorman puts on his elf costume and fills the meters for people parking along North Tejon Street in front of his businesses.
This is the 11th year that Skorman has filled the meters for people parking at his store. He says it brings him joy to see people shopping local, and this is his way of saying thank you.
"You know, people are so delighted and they're appreciative," said Skorman. "It just feels good. It's really a gift to me."
