Soldotna starts off year with drag queen ‘Ivanna Kishakock,’ drag queen story hour at library

87

The kids of Soldotna are not sheltered from the culture wars. Starting off 2024 with a bang, the drag queen community is returning to Soldotna, where the library will host a “drag queen story hour” and events will include several performances by men making themselves into grotesque representations of women.

The misogynistic-themed events include a trivia night and karaoke.

For parents who want to steer clear of the Soldotna Public Library on Jan. 6, there’s always the read-aloud with Mr. Wray at Nikiski Hardware Store on Saturday mornings, from 9-10 am.

Drag queens took over the public park in Soldotna during the summer and performed for children during Pride Month, much to the alarm of many parents in the area.
