SnoopyFREE admission: Charles M. Schulz Museum - Nov 18 2012 - Santa Rosa CA

Are you a Peanuts fan? You almost have to be if you are a resident of Santa Rosa CA, where hundreds of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and Woodstock statues are on display. Tourists arrive here from all over the world, wanting to see where Peanut's creator, Charles M. "Sparky" Schulz, lived and wrote his comic strips.

In honor of Mr. Schulz's birthday, the Charles M. Schulz museum will open its doors to the public for FREE on Sunday, Nov 18 2012. This will be a great day (it's supposed to be raining!) to enjoy the following current exhibits:

Name dropping: Faithful Peanuts readers would love it when Sparky would include sports personalities, politicians, authors, actors and scientists in his comic strip. This exhibit has photographs and correspondence with some of these famous "guests" as well as the original Peanuts strips.

Taunting trees and talking walls: Not a season would go by without a kite eating tree gobbling up one of Charlie Browns kites. This exhibition takes a look at 70 original Peanuts strips with Schulz's use of anthropomorphism, giving life to trees, a pitchers mound, a baseball glove and more.

Enjoy!

Hey there Cynthia - as a huge fan of all things "Charlie Brown," this is my kind of place. Love your last paragraph and especially this part:

Debb - you would love this museum, it has the largest collection of original Peanuts strips in the world. Even our airport is named after our beloved comic strip artist ... what better place for a beagle on his sopwith camel?

Donna - I have a plaque of Lucy in my office. She is waving her fist and yelling "This world needs crabby people".

If it wasn't for your other posts I wouldn't know about the connection, which I love.  From one little red-haird girl to the other ;-)

Carla - ha ha, it's pretty hard NOT to blog about Peanuts and Charles Schulz when you live here. Admission is free on Valentines day too ... but only for red-haired girls.
