Looking for a free, family-friendly summer activity?! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs will be visiting twenty-five Takoma Park businesses throughout this July. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Takoma Park!” stamp card at People’s Book, which will contain the names of all the participating businesses. With each Waldo you spot, you can get your card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Waldo has also misplaced his glasses in People’s Book, so eagle-eyed hunters can find those as well! Collecting store stamps or signatures at 10 or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing for free Waldo books and paraphernalia at the end of the month!
