In addition to these larger, high profile events, many local queens and promoters are hosting their own small scale shows.
In MN, event promoter Flip Phone Events is hosting just-for-fun contests, with prompts for looks and lipsyncs, and providing info to tip performers.
It's a wild world we're living in, and understandably everyone is unsure of their future. Please do what you can to support and take care of each other, as well as yourselves
