Buckhead Village was filled with about 600 Waldo and Wanda lookalikes Saturday as part of a world record attempt to have as many people as possible in one place dress up as the classic characters of the Where's Waldo book series.
Although the record of 3,872 was not broken, the Where's Waldo Bar Crawl event still benefited a local nonprofit. A portion of the proceeds from the bar crawl were donated to OneSight, a nonprofit organization committed to providing clear vision to millions in need through the hand-delivery of primary vision care and eyewear. The Waldos and Wandas were are encouraged to bring gently worn eyewear for men, women and children. All donated eyewear will be recycled by OneSight volunteers and hand-delivered on one of their Global Optical Clinics.
Participants were able to find Waldo-related items at participating bars as part of a scavenger hunt. An 80s tribute band played during the crawl's "after party" and prizes were awarded throughout the event.
