The annual Where’s Waldo search in Maplewood wrapped up this past Wednesday, July 29, with a celebration at Words Bookstore in Maplewood Village hosted by owner Jonah Zimiles (he’s the friendly looking guy in the red-and-white-striped shirt).
Snacks and activities were provided, and children who had spied Waldo in at least 20 locations submitted their passports and enjoyed a drawing to win oodles of prizes.
