Cavalier House Books (CHB)-Lafayette and local downtown businesses are teaming up to share the Find Waldo Local fun starting July 5!

The fun begins when you pick up a Find Waldo Local Passport at CHB Lafayette. Then stop in any of the participating downtown businesses, which will all have a “Find Waldo Here” window decal, to shop local and find Waldo. Once you locate him, the business will initial or stamp your passport.

At CHB Lafayette, we have a hidden Waldo AND a hidden magnifying glass to spot.

Have your passport filled out by at least 12 local businesses and return it to CHB Lafayette to receive your “I Found Waldo” sticker and be entered into a raffle!

We’ll end the month with a Find Waldo Local Party in the bookshop on July 26, starting at 1 pm! Anyone who has turned in their passport by the start of the party will be entered into a raffle to win a $25 Gift Card to CHB, an ARC of their choosing, and a Waldo book! Must be present to win!

Find Waldo Local is happening all around the U.S. with more than 325 participating independent bookstores. We’re happy to join in on the hide-and-seek fun!

Happy searching!
