Where's Waldo? In Fort Greene, Brooklyn of course! The
Where's Waldo
books are turning twenty-five this year, and to celebrate, the famous
fellow in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty
different neighborhood businesses throughout the month of July. Those
who spot him can win prizes, including buttons, books, and more.
HOW IT WORKS:
Anyone who wishes to participate in the scavenger hunt can pick up a
“Find Waldo in Fort Greene!” search list (at Greenlight or at any of the
participating businesses below) with the names of all the businesses
where Waldo is hiding. Visit any of these businesses and spot Waldo --
he's about six inches high and might be hidden anywhere in the public
areas of the business. Collect an "I Found Waldo at ___________" card
from the staff when you've spotted him! Collect cards in eight or more businesses and bring them back to Greenlight to win a Waldo button (first 100 searchers). Collect cards from sixteen or more businesses to win a Waldo button AND an entry for larger prizes
to be drawn at a Waldo party on July 31. The Grand Prize is a complete
six-volume set of Waldo books, and other prizes will be provided by
neighborhood businesses.
Greenlight
is proud to participate in this unique project along with fellow
neighborhood businesses. In addition to offering local families a fun
activity this summer, the scavenger hunt is intended to draw people into
local shops and restaurants, some of which they may never have visited
before, and raise awareness of the great variety of locally-owned
establishments in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. A complete list of
participating businesses can be found below. The game lasts for the entire month of July, and Greenlight
will host a
finale party on July 31 at 4:30 PM, with prizes and activities for kids and adults, along with refreshments and local celebritie.
