I Heart Cookies, a popular food truck that travels the country, is making its first-ever stop in State College on Sunday, Aug. 3, and it’s bringing some prehistoric friends along for the ride.
The one-day event will run from noon to 6 p.m. at Lowe’s,104 Valley Vista Drive, featuring massive animatronic dinosaurs and the food truck’s signature deep dish cookies.
The immersive experience includes replicas of two towering T-rexes, a gigantic triceratops, a stegosaurus, spinosaurus and five raptors, one even modeled after “Blue” from “Jurassic World.”
There will also be baby dinosaur models, including a baby raptor, alosaurus and triceratops, along with interactive exhibits like a raptor enclosure, photo ops and a fossil dig pit for kids.
Admission to the event is based on cookie purchases. Each attendee must buy at least one cookie, priced at $5 each or six for $25. There are no age exceptions for entry.
Attendees can also enter a giveaway for free cookies and free admission by marking themselves as “Going” on the event’s Facebook page and sharing the event publicly. Winners will be announced on the day of the event.
The event promises a unique mix of sweet treats and entertainment, perfect for families, dinosaur lovers, and cookie fans alike.
