On May 17, 2001 the United States Postal Office held a ceremony at the Redwood Empire Ice Arena in Santa Rosa, CA to unveil the new Snoopy stamp. I was in California for a business conference already, so fortunately I was able to attend! In addition to the photos below, you can read a summary of my day at the ceremony.
