Help Shape A Life...Order Yours Today

If you have been paying attention, there are little signs that my own favorite time of the year is here...well, the beginning of it.  YES, we can order our Girl Scout cookies for 2012...you can see a sign hanging in the window of 58 Main Street that provides a clue. 

If you do not have a Girl Scout come knocking on your door, or sending you an email to place your annual cookie order, you can always find a location where they are being sold by visiting the Girl Scout "Cookie Locator."  You can also download APPS designed to help you find cookies as well...now how cool is that?  To understand just how important this yearly fund raiser is, to see all the wonderful things that cookie money does you can visit this page.

Here in the Hudson Valley according the Girl Scout website, the official season does not start for another 21 days, but this writer is READY FOR IT.  For our local Girl Scouts, remember to get my order...I am usually good for at least a case...HEY, I love my Girl Scout Cookies....especially the Somoas!...OMG...give me a tall glass of icy cold milk, and can eat a full box in one sitting...so bad!  One new kind of cookie did make a brief appearance here in Mountaindale already and let me tell you, was a tasty treat.  Need answers?  Try following @girlscouts on Twitter!

As Promised...Girl Scout Cookie Breaking News...ORDER NOW

It's Girl Scout Cookie season again and all 8 of your favorite kinds will be coming very soon to make Mountaindale even sweeter! The Sullivan County Cookie Cupboard will be located right on Main Street all during April. You can pre-order now by calling (845) 434-4747 or stop by next month and pick up your treats which are still only $3.50 per box.

Barb Schmitt has been running the Cookie Cupboard for the past several years and is very happy about this year's selection. The usual top sellers are on hand, such as Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs and Trefoils. Many people also look forward each year to the peanutty goodness of Do Si Dos. The three specialty cookies of last year are back, which are Dulce De Leche, Lemon Chalet Cremes, and the surprise hit, Thank You Berry Munch, with sweet, tangy cranberries. There were some alarming rumors about fewer cookies being available but Barb can assure the loyal public that no cookie was left behind. Yet, it's important to remember that the luscious cookie season is a fleeting one and all the cookies will be gone by early May.
