ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) â€” A video of 101 Snoopy statues from St. Paul's ``Peanuts on Parade'' flew off the shelves, leaving 1,000 people on a waiting list for more.

Craig Schulz, son of the late ``Peanuts'' creator Charles Schulz, said he had no idea there would be such demand for the video. He produced only 600 copies, released Saturday at five Borders bookstores in the Twin Cities.

``He really wasn't sure how this was going to be received,'' said Kathy Burns, executive producer at a production company working with Schulz.

The 101 Snoopy statues decorated by local artists were a popular attraction in St. Paul this summer.

The company hasn't decided how large the next videotape order will be or whether it will be sold nationally. Proceeds go toward building a tribute to Charles Schulz in St. Paul, renovating a ballpark in his old neighborhood and supporting a concert tour for David Benoit, who performs music in the video.
