A secret 'Santa' of sorts is laying a special gift at the front doorstep of downtown businesses. Do you know who the mystery artist is?

A mysterious gift is being left at the doors of local businesses. Alice Hutchinson, owner of Byrd’s Books on Greenwood Ave., said she found a rock at her store with the words “Bethel Rocks” painted on the back. The rock has a picture of her logo, a cute little bird, painted on the front.

So far, the hidden little treasures have been appearing all over the downtown area at the following businesses:
