Waldo is back!

We are excited to welcome Waldo back to Columbia for a second year!

Waldo is visiting to help us run our Find Waldo Local event this July! In fact, 25 Waldos will be hiding in local businesses in Columbia. The question for you is, can you find them all?

Skylark Bookshop is your Find Waldo Headquarters all July, so drop by and pick up a passport from us (they are also present at other participating locations) or print your own here! Participating businesses can be identified by a SHOP LOCAL, FIND WALDO HERE Decal on business doors/windows, and are also listed with addresses in the passport.

And Waldo didn’t just bring himself to Columbia . . . He brought gifts! The first 125 people to find at least 10 Waldos can claim a temporary tattoo and a $1 off coupon good for Waldo titles at Skylark Bookshop.

We are also hosting a party for Waldo at 6:30 on Thursday, August 3rd. If you turn in a passport with 20 stamps/signatures at the party, you will be entered into a prize drawing including Waldo goodies and some spectacular treasures from several of the participating businesses. If you find all 25 and are able to find his missing glasses so he can set up the big party, you will receive an extra goodie at the party to celebrate your extraordinary sleuthing skills.

All are welcome to participate in this event - adults, kids, and everyone in between. Spend a fun filled day of adventure, or spread the search through the whole month while you visit Waldo at these fantastic local businesses.  Done with summer reading and looking for some fun? This might be what you’re looking for! Just want to get out and about? You are welcome to join us! 

The hunt for Waldo is on!
