She would love to share her show with your special group; it's got lots of "heart"!

A Personal Note From Mary Lynn

2008 began our 20th year of Educating and Entertaining with our wonderful monkeys. We are honored to share them in such a positive unique way.

Captive primates are a gift to us all. We are so glad that we have been able to open our home to so many different monkeys during the last years.  Sharing information with other families that are providing environments for their beloved monkeys, is also a part of our mission here at Sunshine MonkeyShines. We know how dedicated you must be to raise and love these animals. We always stress at every event, or even when we are out with the monkeys on a pleasure trip to the store, that “Monkeys and apes are simply not good pets. We say it like this for the show “monkeys make terrible, horrible,no good, very bad pets!”

Thanks to all of you that have patronized our business for all of these years (send photos!) and thanks in advance to all of you new people, that will be seeing us for the first time, in the days, months, and years to come.

I truly love how I share the monkeys of Sunshine Monkeyshines. They are really very special “Monkeys on a Mission”. They always bring lots of love, joy,and happiness wherever they go.

Thanks again for taking the time to visit us here. Always remember us in your thoughts and prayers.
