Oak Bay is fully decked out for Christmas, at least it was until a grinch hit Entrance Park.

Known to be popular with kids in the region, a cast of Peanuts characters traditionally graces the park at Foul Bay Road and Oak Bay Avenue each winter.

Charlie Brown, his sister Sally and his devoted dog Snoopy are all missing – leaving only Lucy and Peppermint Patty in song around the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Anyone with information on the characters’ whereabouts is asked to call Oak Bay Police Department at 250-592-2424.
