Everyone loves Peanuts...especially at Halloween

This is why their collectibles are so popular, even beyond the Department 56 peanuts line.


Snoopy.com is the official website for Peanuts, and there is a lot of good content up there, including a fantastic timeline of Peanuts history.

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article
