LOCK HAVEN — Cookies and dinosaurs might seem like an unusual combination, but the unique pairing brought excitement to downtown Lock Haven this week.

I Heart Cookie, the traveling mobile cookie truck known for its rich, gooey deep dish cookies, rolled into town with more than just dessert — it came with a prehistoric twist.

For the first time ever, I Heart Cookie made a stop in Lock Haven, bringing along its out-of-this-world dinosaur exhibit that travels the globe delighting families. The event drew hundreds of children and adults, eager to both taste the sweet treats and get a close look at life-sized dinosaurs.

The exhibit featured an impressive lineup of prehistoric creatures, including: a massive T-Rex; a gigantic Triceratops; five Raptors, including the fan-favorite Blue; the mighty Stegosaurus; a towering Spinosaurus; two Dimorphodontia; a 10-foot T-Rex; a Baby Triceratops; a Baby Stygimoloch; a Baby Allosaurus; and a Baby Raptor

Visitors also had the chance to step inside a Raptor Enclosure and pose for photos with select dinosaurs, creating memorable moments for families.
