The Cleo Brasher Award
The Cleo Brasher Award is given in honor of Cleo Brasher, our "Dad" and founder of Great Lakes Productions. He is a great supporter and promoter. His tireless dedication to the art form of female impersonation helped build the "Great Lakes Family" what it is today. He is an inspiration and someone that we all can turn to.
This award is given by the current reigning Miss Gay Indiana to an individual, who he feels has helped them the most during their reign. This person is a strong supporter of the art of female impersonation, and has helped Miss Gay Indiana's reign to be a success. This award is the greatest award Miss Gay Indiana can give.
In 2011, The Cleo Brasher Award was changed to The Jamie Douglas Sisterhood Award. At the same time, The Cleo Brasher Brotherhood Award was created for Mr. Gay Indiana.
