Where's Waldo?

Where's Waldo? In Tucson, of course! The famous fellow in the striped shirt and black rimmed specs will be in twenty locations on 4th Avenue and in Downtown during the month of July.

Want to participate? Pick up a search list at Antigone Books (411 N 4th Avenue) or the children's section of the Joel D. Valdez Main Library (101 N Stone Avenue). Or, go to www.antigonebooks.com to download the list and to see the list of raffle prizes. Waldo fans of all ages are invited to participate.

You have from July 1 through July 30 to find Waldo.

Raffle winners will be chosen on July 31.
