These are some photos of the statue at the Midland Valley Depot/Three Rivers Museum. It is honoring Girl Scout Cookies. Enjoy.

Hello.
First of all - thanks for care.

Cute little statue.
As I understand, it's the moment of swear depicted.
That these brick-like things beneath might be?

You know, not so many years ago, the kind of new genre for statues was invented: no monumental at all, but close and vrey "live". One can approach, touch or hug, take a thoto with it. Very lot like ordinary people.

Sorry for such comment, but it's it's considered as very offensive gest here - to put Bread on ground directly (no matter, what kind of Bread), so I'd never guess, the "cookies", mentioned are these things. The explanation: the Bread accumulates efforts of many people, from farmers to bakers and sellers for bringing quality fresh meal, full of Sun's and stove's and maker's hands warmth - to all other people.
By the way, bible tells almost the same idea, mentioning Bread as taken from Lord.
So, I thought, "scout cookies" are those small awards, pinned on the ribbon.
Anyway, pretty statue again. I hope, I'm seeing cookies, packed into four boxes.
