Lookout for those crazy red stripes: Children are asking: Where’s Waldo?

MILLERTON — A friendly little fellow named Waldo will be popping up all over Millerton throughout July thanks to everyone at  Oblong Books and Music. Best of all, he’ll be bringing books and other prizes for many of the area children who are lucky enough to spot him.  

Anyone who has played “Where’s Waldo” knows that half the fun of the game is looking at all the  interesting people and activities that are going on around the elusive brunette with black spectacles and a  red and white striped hat and shirt.
