The Spotty Dog Books & Ale is hosting “Find Waldo Local in Hudson!” until July 31st.

The Spotty Dog Books & Ale is hosting “Find Waldo Local in Hudson!” until July 31st.

Where’s Waldo? In Hudson, of course! The iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting twenty-five local businesses throughout our community this July. Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2022, Find Waldo Local is a great summer vacation activity and a wonderful way to support local businesses, including Vasilows, Rev, Steiners, Tanzys, and the Hudson Farmers Market.

Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Hudson!” stamp card, which contains the names of all the participating sites; with each Waldo they spot, they can get their card stamped or signed by the participating shop. To make things a little more challenging, there will be one slightly different Waldo hiding in The Spotty Dog. Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing for Waldo books and paraphernalia. Happy hunting!


DATE/TIME
: July 2022 / Check individual businesses for hours

LOCATION: The Spotty Dog Books & Ale
440 Warren Street
Hudson, NY 12534
