Mr. Pickle and Friends Story Hour

With a focus on inclusion and acceptance, Mr. Pickle and other drag performers will read relevant books to children who would enjoy a story.  Juice boxes and prepackaged snacks will be provided. Other activities include dressing up, singing and dancing, and other family friendly fun.
This event is FREE, FUN and LIMITED seats available!

Mr. Pickle promises a “safe place for all children to express themselves creatively.''

Mr. Pickle is local drag performer, and Holyoke resident, Danielle Pikul. She began “Mr. Pickle and Friends Story Hour” as a way to show children that with compassion, education, and a little exposure, acceptance and inclusion become second nature.  Each story hour will feature a guest from the local drag community.  If any performer is interested in being a guest of Mr. Pickle, please email pickledpikul@gmail.com
