Charlie Brown and Linus

This bronze statue was installed in front of the Airport terminal in September 2007. Charles M. Schulz's beloved characters, Charlie Brown and Linus, pause reflectively while passengers pass by on their way to and from the terminal. The sculpture was made by Tivoli Too, a 3-dimensional sculpture and design studio in Minnesota, Schulz's home state. Tivoli Too also made the Peanuts on Parade statues painted by local artists and seen all around Santa Rosa.

Funding for the bronze statue came from proceeds of the Peanuts on Parade sculpture auctions held in 2005, 2006, and 2007. In September 2007, sixteen Joe Cool statues were auctioned and given a new home with the highest bidders. Money raised from the auction goes toward art scholarships as well as to the permanent bronze Peanuts statue placed at the Airport.
