![]() ![]() Mary Ellen Kinsey-Rudee, one of the instructors at Snoopy’s Home Ice, was the skating model for Peppermint Patty. It happened that Woodstock had whistled songs in the strip, and Sparky and Lee Mendelson, the producer of the TV shows, talked about Woodstock whistling the music for Peppermint Patty during a skating competition. The second show, which we call, Good Skate, was one that Sparky went out on a limb for. The New Year’s show was first broadcast on New Year’s day, 1986, and Sparky declared it to be “just good, innocent entertainment.” It was the “double-bill” of Happy New Year, Charlie Brown and She’s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown. I had already thought of talking about the Peanuts hour which aired on ABC a few days earlier. The countdown begins as the numbers float up.Īt the count of 1, the balloons come down! The balloons are gathered up at the ceiling, ready to be dropped. ![]() When we do these events we are carrying out Sparky’s dictum that some things should be done just for the pure joy of doing it. ![]() Those who came enjoyed the pure pleasure of the event, as well as the exhibitions. The majority of the visitors came with children and grandchildren for the two “balloon drops,” but many others just happened upon us that day. More than 1100 guests and members visited the museum on Monday, December 31st, the last day of 2012. ![]()
