Some of Saint Paul's Snoopys have new homes today and the city couldn't be happier. Yesterday's auction of 40 fiberglass Snoopys brought in $823-thousand dollars, far exceeding even the most optomistic predictions. The money will help pay for a permanent sculpture honoring Charles Schulz as well as cartooning scholarships and an endowed professorship. Mayor Norm Coleman says the outpouring of affection for Schulz and his characters has been amazing.
