Snoopy, Charlie Brown, & Lucy - Christmas Ice Skating Show

In 1985, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Lucy performed in the Knotts Berry Farm Christmas Ice Show "It's a Dog-Gone Christmas." Jo Ann Schneider Farris (me!) is the figure skater inside the Charlie Brown costume!

The show had to find professional skaters under five feet tall to perform inside the Peanuts character costumes. The only air in the costume was where my eyes lined up with Charlie Brown's mouth.

It's amazing I could skate at all. By the way...when Charlie Brown's head came off, I had a very "bad hair day!" Also...try to guess how hard it was to skate (and do small jumps, spins, and footwork) on a little stage in the dark in a character costume with no air!

[joannskater]

The head never fell off. What I mean is when, I took the head off, you should have seen my hair! I was also gasping for air.

Thank you for this video. When I worked the ice shows I'd stand in the wings and wonder what the older shows looked like. I'm glad I finally know.
