Find Waldo Local

July 1-31 in Rockridge!

Enjoy some hide-and-seek fun designed to encourage residents and visitors to get to know their Rockridge businesses! Finding Waldo is a wonderful way to support shopping local! There is no charge to participate and all ages are welcome.

Families will love joining the scavenger hunt to find the iconic children’s book character, with his red-and-white-striped shirt and black glasses, hidden in 26 local businesses.

JOIN THE FUN:

Pick up a “Find Waldo Local Passport” at Pegasus Books (5560 College Avenue), at one of the participating stores, or print it out at home during the month of July.

1. Get a Stamp (ie. stamp, sticker, signature) on your Passport from a shopkeeper where you find a miniature Waldo. Collecting store stamps at 20 or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into prize drawings!

2. Drop your Passport off at Pegasus (or bring it to the party) to be entered into prize drawings.

On July 31 at 5pm, Pegasus Books will host a Where’s Waldo Local party with treats for anyone who participated. Books, stickers, and local prizes will be drawn! You don’t have to be present to win a prize, but we’d love for you to come!

Prizes include gift cards and items from: Bella Vita, Cactus Taqueria, Cole Hardware, Crossroads Trading, Delicious Thai Kitchen, Love + Chocolate, Market Hall Foods & Bakery, Nathan&Co., Phoenix Optical, Planterday, Rockridge Library (Bad Walter’s & Swag), The Chocolate Dragon, The Yoni Temple, Tootsies & Crush on Rockridge, Vero for Hair, Vino! (21+), 510Families tote bags… and a $50 Rockridge e-Gift Card redeemable at 40+ locations!
