Find Waldo in Arcata!

Where’s Waldo? In Arcata, of course! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty-six local businesses throughout our community this July. Find Waldo Local is a free, family-friendly summer activity and a wonderful way to support local businesses, including Adventure’s Edge, Bubbles, Redwood Yogurt, People’s Records and Zen. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Arcata!” stamp card, which contains the names of all the participating sites; with each Waldo they spot, they can get their card stamped or signed by the participating shop. Waldo has also misplaced his glasses in Northtown Books, so eagle-eyed hunters can find those as well! Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing for Waldo books and other prizes generously donated by participating local businesses. There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts until July 29th. For more information about hunting for Waldo in Arcata, call Northtown Books at 707 822 2834.
