Is “Waldo” in Dubuque?

Where’s Waldo? He’s back in Dubuque! The famous children’s book character in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty-five local businesses and organizations throughout Downtown Dubuque this July. Find Waldo Local is a great summer vacation activity and a wonderful way to support local businesses and organizations and the Shop Local movement in our community, including these partners: Dubuque Welcome Center, Outside the Lines Art Gallery, The Dubuque Food Co-Op, Freddie’s Popcorn, The Multicultural Family Center, and Carnegie Stout Public Library. just to name a few.  Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Dubuque!” passport, which contains the names of all the participating sites, and get their passport stamped or signed for each Waldo they spot. Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing on July 31, with the top prize being a six-volume deluxe set of Waldo books. This year, participants can also #ColorWaldoAndWin: when they share a completed coloring sheet of Waldo on Instagram, they’ll be entered into a drawing to be one of five lucky winners of a deluxe prize pack. There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the entire month of July. For more information about hunting for Waldo in Dubuque, call River Lights Bookstore at (563) 556- 4391.
