Communities all over the country are using Where’s Waldo to promote local businesses. Waldo-seekers pick up a passport, then go from shop to shop finding Waldo cut-outs (and a bonus of his dog, Woof in some places!) throughout the month of July. Most venues will hold a big Waldo party at the end of the scavenger hunt.
Find Waldo was a big hit last year, and facebook posts from stores throughout the region show it’s going swimmingly in 2014! Four Waldo titles on last week’s Bestseller List tell the same tale.
