localmatters / 9 In Maplewood, of course! The famous children’s book character in the striped shirt and black- rimmed specs is visiting 20+ businesses throughout Maplewood during the month of July. Those who spot him can win stickers, book coupons and more. Waldo figures will be well hidden in lo- cal businesses. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo!” passport at [words] book- store that lists the participating sites. Then the scavenger hunt begins! Visit partici- pating businesses to get your passport stamped or signed for each Waldo you spot. The first 100 Waldo seekers to get their passports stamped or signed at 10 or more sites can bring their passports back to [words] bookstore to receive a fantastic Waldo button. Col- lecting store stamps or signatures at 20 or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into the grand prize drawing on July 29 at 4 p.m., with the top prize being a six-volume deluxe set of Waldo books.
