LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD: CHARLES SCHULZ MUSEUM, SANTA ROSA, CA

10 days ago, Marash Girl was in Santa Rosa, California, visiting the Charles Schulz Museum.  What fun that was, even though she missed the comic book giveaway by a day !    The special exhibit through August 12 is entitled, Leveling the Playing Field, a common theme throughout the history of Schulz's cartoons, and the perfect exhibit to be viewed on Mother's Day, if you happened to be lucky enough to be there yesterday. (And mothers who were there yesterday had free admission!) The special event on the day Marash Girl visited?  Children reading story books to their dogs!

What fun awaits both outside

and

 
inside the museum.  Sculptures and cartoon strips bring smiles and memories to those of us who grew up loving Snoopy, Lucy,  Charlie Brown, and the gang,  all thanks to

Charles M. Schulz, 
Born: November 26, 1922, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Died: February 12, 2000, Santa Rosa, California
