“Mirrorball” Drag Show to rock Door County

A historical event involving a lot of makeup and costumes will be taking place at the Baileys Harbor Town Hall next weekend. The first-ever Door County drag show for the public will be featured starting on Friday night. Mike Meulemans, and his husband Doug Smith hosted a similar party three years ago to celebrate their 20th anniversary. After getting great feedback on it, they decided to bring it back for the public and are calling it Mirrorball. Meulemans says the event is about having fun, promoting inclusion, and supporting the community.

The two-day extravaganza will start on Friday, April 15 with a “Match Game” contest that will include the celebrity drag queens and audience participants. A $10 donation at the door will go towards the Kendall Park Rejuvenation fund in Baileys Harbor. Saturday’s Mirrorball performance is open free to the public. It will have three drag shows highlighting dance, music and extravagant costumes. Professional queen Paloma Foxx has her own fashion line with dresses featured on RuPaul’s TV show Drag Race.
