Lucille Johnson - Blockhead Party
From: Fred Owusu
To: CSO-info; Neaton, Mike
Date: 9/20/2001 4:28 PM
Subject: Blockhead Party
Charlie Brown auction delayed;
'Blockhead Party' still on for Sunday
St. Paul's Sept. 30 auction of Charlie Brown statues has been
delayed five weeks until Nov.4,and some of the proceeds from the
auction will go to relief funds set up to aid victims of the attacks in
New York City and Washington, D.C., event officials announced
today.
"Charlie Brown Around Town" officials said details of the donations
are being worked out.
Potential air travel problems for people coming to the auction and
concerns about asking for money in the aftermath of the attacks
prompted the delay.
Sunday's two-hour"Blockhead Party" finale,which begins at noon at
Ecolab Plaza in downtown St. Paul,will go on as scheduled. Events
include a Charles Schulz character look-alike contest,the raffle
drawing for the "Lucky Chuck" statue and an online "people's choice"
award for the favorite Charlie Brown statue.
The "Charlie Brown Around Town" celebration is the second
summer of the city's tribute to Schulz,the "Peanuts" creator who
grew up in St. Paul.
