The Rochester Art Center has a free, fun family-friendly event lined up for Saturday, March 12th. It's called Drag Story Time, and it's exactly what it sounds like. A drag queen will read storybooks to kids in attendance.

After Tiara reads storybooks, there will be craft activities "fit for royalty" with gold crowns and colorful scepters, according to the Rochester Art Center press release.
