Peanuts On Parade

A Photo Tour Of Snoopy's Doghouse
Statues From The 2004 Peanuts On Parade
‘Doghouse Days Of Summer’ Tribute


The final Charles Schultz tribute in Saint Paul ran during the summer of 2004. It was called ‘Doghouse Days Of Summer,’ and featured Snoopy and Woodstock on top of Snoopy's famous doghouse. Like the other series of statues, each doghouse was about 5-1/2 feet tall, and was built from gel coated fiberglass on a concrete base.
