Celebrate Waldo in Wellesley from July 1st - July 31st! Where's Waldo? In Wellesley, of course! He's turning twenty-five this year, and to celebrate, the famous fellow in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty different local businesses all through the month of July. Those who spot him can win prizes, including buttons, books, and more! Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo in Wellesley!” search list with the names of all the businesses, and collect an "I Found Waldo at ___________" card for each Waldo they spot starting on July 1st. Collecting cards in sixteen or more businesses and turning them in at Wellesley Books will win a Waldo button and an entry for other, larger prizes to be drawn at a special Waldo party on July 31. There is no charge to participate, and the game lasts for the entire month of July.  FIND WALDO in WELLESLEY   1)       Waldo is hiding in all these local businesses in July. Go find him!  2)       When you spot him, collect a card and check the box off your list.  3)       When you have 8 different cards, bring them to WELLESLEY BOOKS to claim a Waldo button (for first 100 Waldo spotters). 4)       If you collect 16 of the possible 20 cards, turn in your cards at WELLESLEY BOOKS to get a Waldo button and be entered in a drawing for a 6-book deluxe set of the Waldo books and other great prizes. 5)       Plan to attend a Waldo grand celebration and prize drawing at 4:00 PM on July 31 at Wellesley Books!    Illustration © 1987-2102 by Martin Handford   Wellesley Books 82 Central Street   Lyn Evans Potpourri Designs 8 Church Street        Abigail’s Children’s Boutique 93 Central Street   Magic Beans 200 Linden Street    Carbonaro Photography 9 Crest Road   Paper and Presents 87 Central Street    Footstock Shoes 33 Central Street   Posies 77 Central Street   Gustare Oils & Vinegars 90 Central Street   Roche Bros. 184 Linden Street   J.P.

Waldo is the creation of Martin Handford, whose entertaining drawings of crowd scenes swept the world in 1987. Since then, the Where’s Waldo books have held a cherished spot on bookstore shelves the world over. There are now over 55 million Waldo books in print worldwide and they’ve been translated into eighteen languages. An entire generation has grown up searching for Waldo and his cast of wandering companions.
