Hunt for Waldo in Oak Park stores
By Meghan Power
There's an invader in Oak Park and he's wearing red, white and blue. And you've got to go find him.
Magic Tree Bookstore is inviting residents to find Waldo in Oak Park stores in honor of the 25th anniversary of the book series. Throughout the month of July, 20 participating businesses will have a 6-inch Waldo figure hiding somewhere in the store. After locating Waldo, the participant receives a card from that shop.
Once you've finished your hunt for Waldo return you cards to Magic Tree Bookstore, 141 N. Oak Park Ave. Collect eight cards and you receive a Waldo button. Collect 16 and you get a button and a chance to win the deluxe set of Waldo books.
There will be a Waldo grand celebration and prize drawing at Magic Tree Bookstore on July 31 at 7 p.m.
