A popular food truck will bring animatronic dinosaurs and deep-dish cookies to State College for the first time this weekend.
I Heart Cookies, a national brand that makes stops across the country, will set up shop at State College’s Lowe’s at 104 Valley Vista Drive on Sunday. From noon to 6 p.m., guests can stop by to chow down on cookies and meet some prehistoric pals in the process.
The food truck’s dinosaur exhibit will feature nearly 20 unique dinosaurs and baby dinosaurs. Featured animatronics are modeled after tyrannosaurus rex, stegosaurus and raptors, one of whom is modeled after “Blue” from the 2015 film “Jurassic World.”
Other dinosaur-themed activities include a raptor enclosure, photo stations and a fossil dig pit for children, I Heart Cookies wrote on its event page.
Admission to the dinosaur-themed exhibit is included with the purchase of one cookie per guest, the truck says, regardless of each guest’s age. Cookies are available for $5 each or in a bundle of six for $25.
I Heart Cookies is running a giveaway promotion leading up to its event in State College. To enter, guests must visit the event’s Facebook page, respond to say they’re “going” and share the event to their Facebook feed. The truck will announce its winners on Sunday.
