Lucy Van Pelt
"Flower Child Lucy"
Lucy was completed and installed in the garden of The Portage For Youth in Dayton's Bluff... another one of the Peanut's characters of Charles Schultz... in the continuing drive to raise funds in his memory... These funds will be used for scholarships, a school, and a permanent memorial to Charles Schultz, here in St. Paul where Schultz was born.
The artist is Amy R. Handford. She painted Thespian Snoopy, who also resides in Dayton's Bluff and is going to be permanently installed in the Mounds Theater when the restoration of the theater building is completed...
Lucy is also the Mascot for the annual blues festival that takes place this year on June 22, 2002 and is held in Mounds Park, on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
Please take note of Lucy's sign... it reads "Peace and Girls Rule!"... very appropriate for this woman....Her dress is actually real denim and she even has toes and sports a toe ring! Quite the "Flower Child",
