"The Oscars of Iowa Drag"
After packing the house at a local gay bar, our team knew an event of this size needed an upgraded venue and a team to help her improve the experience, in early 2023, Chanelle partnered with Drag King DSM, and Eleven Eleven Productions to produce an event that would almost triple in size. Thus earning the nickname, "The Oscars of Iowa Drag".
