Where's Waldo In Mansfield - Fun for the Whole Family
Where's Waldo? In Mansfield, of course. He's turning twenty-five this year, and to celebrate, the famous fellow in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty-one different local businesses all through the month of July. Those who spot him can win prizes, including buttons, books, and more. From The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at Bourn Place Tri-Country Greenhouse at 290 Middle Turnpike, from The Hoot at 86 Storrs Road to Peddlers Post at 1029 Storrs Road, Waldo figures are showing up in public areas of local establishments. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo in Mansfield” search list with the names of all the businesses, and collect an "I Found Waldo at ___________" card for each Waldo they spot. Collecting cards in sixteen or more businesses and turning them in at the UConn Co-op will win a Waldo button and an entry for other, larger prizes to be drawn at a Waldo party on July 31, from 4pm to 5:30. The Grand Prize is a complete six-volume set of Waldo books. People who prefer a shorter version of the hunt can collect the cards from eight businesses and pick up a Waldo button at UConn Co-op.
Waldo is the creation of Martin Handford, whose entertaining drawings of crowd scenes swept the world in 1987. Since then, the Where’s Waldo books have held a cherished spot on bookstore shelves the world over. There are now over 55 million Waldo books in print worldwide and they’ve been translated into eighteen languages. An entire generation has grown up searching for Waldo and his cast of wandering companions.
In celebration of Waldo's longevity and popularity, his American publisher, Candlewick Press, is teaming up with the American Booksellers Association and 250 independent bookstores all across the country, including the UConn Co-op here in Storrs, Mansfield, to have fun and encourage people to visit local businesses. There is no charge to participate, and the game lasts for the entire month of July. For more information about hunting for Waldo in Mansfield call the UConn Co-op at 860-486-5027.
