Snoopy 60th Birthday Roundup

[Oldiesmann]

As was previously mentioned here, several CF parks were celebrating yesterday to mark the 60th anniversary of Peanuts. Here's a roundup of the events:

Cedar Point's present to Snoopy was his favorite cookies (chocolate chip), which were promptly passed out to guests in attendance (that's right - Kinzel actually giving something away...):

Meanwhile, over at Dorney, the announcement was that the current Camp Snoopy kids area would be expanded and renovated to become Planet Snoopy next year, complete with a claim that it will have the largest collection of kids rides on the east coast:

Planet Snoopy will be a complete re-theme and redevelopment of the existing Camp Snoopy. The entire Planet Snoopy will spread over 3.5 acres and will contain the largest collection of kids' rides on the East Coast when completed.

In addition, Valleyfair and Worlds of Fun will be getting Planet Snoopy next year as well.

i'm not going to lie, i applaud snoopy for living to 60, especially when his favorite cookie is chocolate chip.

I too applaud him for making it to 60, considering most Beagles only make it to 12 to 15 years.........#22 on the list, the others are quite interesting too.
