... And Drag Story Time continues into the Fall!! ✨🌈

You've asked for it... We are so excited to share that our story time has changed! We are now hosting on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 11am.

Our performer(s) will be reading 2 books, performing, and then we'll have a dance party after! The main performance event typically lasts 30 minutes, so don't be late and miss all the shenanigans!

Performers may rotate and the books will all be different.

**These are family friendly events**

Please know that our performers deserve tips for all of their hard work! So please bring cash or be ready to donate to their Venmo. Wigs ain't cheap!

We look forward to seeing you for a sparkly good time! ✨
