ROARRing Good Time! Gigantic Dinos & Bumblebee Roll into Town with I Heart Cookies!

Excelsior Springs turned into Jurassic Park with a twist this Monday, as a herd of animatronic dinosaurs invaded the Tractor Supply parking lot! But these weren’t your average dinos –– oh no!  This prehistoric party was co-hosted by the legendary Bumblebee Transformer, fresh off the set of saving the world (again!).

Hundreds of wide-eyed paleontologists-in-training got up close and personal with these giants of the past, snapping photos and high-fiving (or should we say, high-clawing?)  T-Rex, Raptors, Triceratops, and a whole crew of their prehistoric pals.

But wait, there’s more! The one and only Bumblebee, larger than life and ready for selfies, joined the dino-mingle!  While the line for I Heart Cookies’ legendary deep-dish cookies stretched longer than a Stegosaurus’ back (and let’s face it, those are long!), a costumed dino danced to the tunes, keeping the energy prehistoric-ally high!

I Heart Cookies Co., known for their super-deep, super-delicious cookies, brought their food truck magic all the way from Wichita, Kansas.  And let’s just say, after meeting dinos and a giant Bumblebee, those cookies tasted even sweeter!
