Peanuts on Parade has been St. Paul, Minnesota's tribute to its favorite native cartoonist. It began in 2000 with the placing of 101 statues of Snoopy throughout the city of St. Paul. Every summer for the following four years, statues of a different "Peanuts" character were placed on the sidewalks of St. Paul. In 2001, there was "Charlie Brown Around Town", 2002 brought "Looking for Lucy", in 2003 along came "Linus Blankets St. Paul", ending in 2004 with "Snoopy" lying on his doghouse. The statues were auctioned off at the end of each summer, so some remain around the city, but others have been relocated. The auction proceeds were used for artist's scholarships and for permanent, bronze statues of the "Peanuts" characters. These bronze statues are in Landmark Plaza and Rice Park in downtown St. Paul.
