Drag Queen Story Hour This Saturday, June 25, in Silver Spring

There will be a Drag Queen Story Hour this Saturday, June 25, at 10am at Flower Avenue Urban Park (8746 Flower Ave) in Silver Spring. The event is co-sponsored by Flower Coffee Collective and Councilmember Evan Glass.
Per the event’s Facebook page, “Drag Queen Story Hour is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish and where dress up is real.”
Saturday is also Flower Coffee Collective’s last day of service. The mobile coffee shop opened at 8805 Flower Ave in Silver Spring (in front of El Gavilan Restaurant) in August of last year and sold specialty coffee, espresso, agua fresca and pastries out of a vintage camper.  Flower Coffee posted the following message on their social media pages: “It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you Flower Coffee is closing. Our final day of operation will be Saturday, June 25th. While this iteration of my coffee journey is coming to a close, it is not the end of coffee in the Long Branch neighborhood. Your individual and community support has made this particular coffee venture a success, and as we move forward I can’t wait to share what the future holds. More soon!”
