The iconic children’s book character Waldo is coming to downtown Rome this July to help spread the “Shop Local” message! River & Hill Books will be hosting Find Waldo Local, a monthlong scavenger hunt to find Waldo in 20 downtown businesses.

Starting Wednesday, July 1, join the hunt by picking up a stamp card at River & Hill Books. Then head on to any of the 20 participating downtown businesses. Each business will have a six-inch Waldo standee hiding in their store/restaurant. When you find Waldo, ask an employee to stamp/sign your card for that location and head on to the next stop!

When you get 10 or more stamps, bring your card to River & Hill Books for a Waldo poster and a $1 off coupon towards Waldo books. When you get all 20 stamps, you’ll receive a Waldo poster, a $1 off coupon towards Waldo books, and will be entered to win a grand prize collection of Waldo books!

Find Waldo starts Wednesday, July 1 and will end on Friday, July 31. Then join us on Saturday, August 1 at 11am for a Waldo celebration and grand prize drawing!
