Following the Peanuts on Parade series in Saint Paul, several permanent statues were erected, as well as a few other similar tributes:
• Bronze Peanuts Statues In Saint Paul | |
• Peanuts Statues Outside Of Twin Cities | |
• 2014 All Star Game Peanuts Statues |
Peanuts on Parade was so popular that Schulz's adopted home town, Santa Rosa, California, picked up where Saint Paul left off, with a three year run of Peanuts statues, also produced by the TivoliToo company from Mendota Heights, Minnesota. An encore featuring Lucy statues was run a few years later. The Santa Rosa tributes have included:
• It's Your Town, Charlie Brown (2005) | |
• Summer Of Woodstock (2006) | |
• Joe Cool's Summer (2007) | |
• Look Out It's Lucy! (2010) |
The Mall of America featured the Knott's Camp Snoopy theme park from its 1992 opening until 2006. The mall was unable to make a deal to continue the Peanuts theme, so the Peanuts characters were removed and the theme park became The Park At The Mall Of America. A new branding deal was concluded in 2007 for the mall theme park to become Nickelodeon Universe featuring the Sponge Bob characters. Snoopy, however, has returned to the Twin Cities in 2011 with the Planet Snoopy at Valleyfair.
