Where’s Waldo? In Downtown Bangor, of course!
The famous children’s book character in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs has been visiting twenty-five different local businesses throughout our downtown community this July. Kids and families (adults too!) have been searching for Waldo and filling out their passports all month. Now it's time to celebrate and give away some prizes!
On Friday, August 1 at 4pm, The Briar Patch is hosting a WHERE'S WALDO Party & Prize Drawing. Those who found Waldo in Downtown Bangor in at least 20 of the 25 locations on their passports have been entered into the Grand Prize Drawing. Everyone is welcome to join us for some fun and games leading up to the prize drawing. Prizes include Where's Waldo books and more.
You must be present to be eligible for the grand prize. All passports must be turned in by Wednesday, July 31 at 6pm.
Martin Handford’s collections of crowd scenes took the world by storm in the late 1980s, and since then they have held a cherished spot on bookstore shelves. There are now over 70 million Waldo books in print worldwide, and they’ve been translated into over thirty-one languages. An entire generation has grown up searching for Waldo.
