Hey kids! Waldo, our favorite red-white-and-blue wanderer, is heading out around the country this July to flaunt his independence and tour some of the special places that make America’s communities so unique — and even weird! And of course that means he’s hitting Austin and daring you to find him as he visits some of our most notable local independent businesses.
To participate in our fun and festive Find Waldo Local scavenger hunt, download this flyer of participating businesses or pick one up in-store, then, beginning July 1st, visit as many of the businesses as you can and find Waldo!
When you find him, you’ll be given a card. Then bring all your cards to BookPeople on Saturday, August 4 at 12pm for our Wonderful Waldo Wrap Up Party for prizes, games, pizza courtesy of Austin’s Pizza, and fun with our friend Waldo in person! If you collect at least 8 cards, you can redeem them at the party for a special Waldo button. And if you can collect at least 12, you can enter our raffle to win a collection of great prizes, including a complete six-volume set of Waldo books!
