Knott's Berry Farm's Online Snoopy
California, USA
July 13, 2007
 In my July 10, 2007 column, I posted word that Knott's Berry Farm was selling Snoopy the dog online. After posting the news, I wrote to the theme park. I asked which exclusive version (Knott's Berry Farm or Camp Snoopy) they were selling. Here is the response I received:
Since the other parks had the Camp Snoopy beanies online, we decided to go ahead and put them (Snoopy) on with limited purchases. The Snoopy beanie is the same but the Ty hang tags are different. Theirs say Camp Snoopy and ours say Knott's.
