Drag Queen StoryTime To Set World Record During Sydney Mardi Gras

CLIENT: EASTSIDE SYDNEY

OUTLET: 10 DAILY

Maxi Shield and Hannah Conda will lead an attempt on Saturday to break a world record for the biggest ever 'drag queen storytime'.

They're hoping hundreds of children will flock to Sydney's iconic Oxford Street to participate in the storytelling record attempt, as part of the Mardi Gras event dubbed 'Oxtravaganza'.

The pair say storytime events -- hosted by drag queens who read children's books in community libraries across the country -- are more than just fun for kids.
