Let the stories begin...

Hugh, a long time customer was the first to share his stories with us.

"Here is a photo taken in Beijing China with me holding Montana Monster Cookies. The "Temple Of Heaven" is in the background. Taken May 2008 [several days before the big earthquake-which was hundreds of miles away]. However,the earthquake did cause me to fall down a short set of steps and loose some skin on my arm and knee. This occurred in Xian,China. I was able to continue my trip. Enjoyed this cookie and the other Montana Monsters I took with me.
