I used to love the Cotton Carnival back in the Fifties and very early
Sixties.Does anyone remember going to the Children's Ball and dancing? I
was a little girl in elementary school and two years in a row asked little
boys I liked to go with me, and they did. I was a feminist ahead of my
time! And the music was great.
