Waldo is hiding in a number of Raleigh businesses in July. Get ready to
go find him
!
Starting July 1st, you can pick up a Waldo Passport at Quail Ridge Books or any participating business. When you spot Waldo,
collect a stamp
for that box on your passport. Come in to visit Quail Ridge Books, and you'll receive a Where's Waldo button and a $1 coupon, good for a
Where's Waldo
book once you have ten stamps or more!
Plan to attend the Waldo GRAND CELEBRATION. Those with passports with 20 or more stamps will be entered for prize drawings at 2 pm on Sunday, July 29 at Quail Ridge Books!
What kind of prizes? Each of the participating businesses has created their own unique prize. There are theatre tickets from the Raleigh Little Theatre, classes at Great Yarns, gift cards from House of Swank, Burke Bros Hardware, Lucky Tree, Two Roosters Ice Cream, and Meraki Salon and much, much more.
But here's the important part:
you MUST attend the party on July 29 for the prize drawing
.
There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the month of July. Thank you to Shop Local Raleigh for its help and support.
What are you waiting for? Come see us or print out your
Waldo Passport and begin collecting stamps! Find out more details about the other participating businesses
