<p>It’s long been a common question across the nation for decades, where’s Waldo? Well rumor has it he is going to be somewhere in Folsom and several Folsom Businesses are asking for your help in finding him.</p>

This year, Candlewick Press and the American Booksellers Association are again teaming up with 310 independent bookstores nationwide, including Ruby’s Books in Historic Folsom, for some hide-and-seek fun designed to encourage residents to patronize their local businesses. There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the entire month of July. </p>
<p>Families will love joining the scavenger hunt to find the iconic children’s book character, with his red-and-white-striped shirt and black glasses, hidden in twenty-five local businesses, including The Folsom Public Library, The Folsom History Museum, Snooks Candies and Brainy Zoo Toys.

<p>To join in the fun, people can simply pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Folsom,Ca!” stamp card at any of the participating stores.
