Waldo is packing up some supplies for the road today - his final day hiding out in Hudson. You can still finish up finding your 20 today, in time for the closing party tomorrow at 11:00. You can hit every location today except the Farmers Market, so the world is your oyster. No need to be at the party to win, but there will be snacks and you get early access to the store. Thanks to all who participated!!
