☘️🐵 There’s a lot of excitement in the air today! 🐵☘️
It’s Irish Days in Long Grove, and OG Sock Monkey and all the monkeys are especially excited to welcome some very special guests to the museum!
🐵 Zeus van der Munkee and his human are coming all the way from Portland, Oregon! World traveling monkey Zeus has been a longtime friend and fan of the museum and has donated some of the coolest treasures to our collection over the years—including our big inflatable Sock Monkey scooter that comes out for the holidays, Sock Monkey nesting dolls, and lots of other wonderful Sock Monkey goodies. We can’t wait to finally welcome them!
💌 We’re also excited to welcome Diane from Heartfelt Tidbits of Creativity, visiting all the way from Seattle! We carry Diane’s adorable Sock Monkey greeting cards and colorful button magnets in our gift shop, and we’re so happy to have her visiting us in person.
🎨 And there’s even more fun! Carol will be face painting from 12–2 PM. Stop by and have this talented artist paint a Sock Monkey or a shamrock! ☘️🐵
So many special visitors and so much fun happening in Long Grove today. Hope you can join us! ❤️☘️🐵
