The 2011 Carnival season marked the 80th Anniversary of Carnival Memphis. Events such as the elegant Crown & Sceptre Ball, Business & Industry Salute Luncheon, and Princess Ball were enjoyed by all. This year’s royalty, Queen of Carnival Kate Orgill Smith and King of Carnival John Hull Dobbs, Jr., along with President Jess Wesberry, Jr. M.D., the Carnival Princesses and member s of the Grand Krewes, helped raise $180,000 to benefit the Carnival Memphis Children’s Charity Initiative.
