Where’s Waldo? Heading back to Chelsea, of course! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs will once again hide in 15 different locations throughout Chelsea’s downtown this July. Families are encouraged to join in and search downtown Chelsea for the hidden Waldos.
Find Waldo Local is a free, family-friendly summer activity for all generations to enjoy together, while also serving as a way to support local businesses and celebrate community.
Anyone wishing to play the ‘Find Waldo in Downtown Chelsea’ game can pick up a card from Serendipity Books at 119 S. Main Street. The card will list the spots to visit in 15 squares. Once each Waldo is found, the square will be signed by participating locations. A final 16th square will show Waldo’s pal, Wizard Whitebeard, who is also hiding and ready to be found at Serendipity Books.
Players who complete 10 or more squares can turn in the completed cards to Serendipity Books to claim a prize, a $1 coupon, and enter the grand prize drawing.
On August 12, at 10 a.m., the event will wrap up with a free children’s party at the Chelsea District Library. Attendees will enjoy Waldo-themed games and activities, along with Waldo-themed prizes and cookies. Attendance is limited to 30 guests. The activities and games are best suited for children aged 5-10. Signups are required and available at www.serendipity-books.com. A caregiver must accompany all children. T
Candlewick Press teams up with the American Booksellers Association each year and selects several independent bookstores nationwide for this hide-and-seek fun. Serendipity Books is proud to have been selected once again for this game and to bring this free, family-friendly activity to Chelsea’s downtown.
