Kayla and Sugar at Palm Harbor Library

Sugar loves to bring smiles to everyone she meets.  She will shake your hand or give you a high five, smother you with kisses or surprise you with a special trick.



In addition to performing, Sugar enjoys listening intently while children and young adults read to her!  Sugar visits the Palm Harbor Library on the third Saturday each month.  Check the library calendar and stop by to see us sometime!
