81st Annual Chattanooga Cotton Ball Announces Belles and Ladies Of The Court

  • Friday, July 24, 2015

The Chattanooga Cotton Ball has announced the Cotton Ball Belles and Ladies of the Court for its 81st season.  

The social event began in 1933 as the Fall Fashion Show Floor Show Chattanooga Cotton Ball, to benefit the Children's Hospital Free Ward Fund and the Chattanooga Museum Association.

Annually there were several smaller coming-out balls held for local debutantes, but Zella Armstrong, a local author and publisher, felt it would be more spectacular to combine them into one large affair and to include young women from the surrounding area.
