Peanuts Statues, again and again

For those of you who enjoy the Peanuts statues that have blanketed St. Paul over the last few years: this was the last year for them.

Do not despair the lack of statues for the future, however — Santa Rosa, California (home of Schulz’s studio, the Schulz Museum, and so forth) is taking up the banner, and will be decorating the town with 55 Charlie Brown statues decorated by Sonoma County artists in the summer of ’05!
