Presented by Dixon Hughes
Carnival was founded in 1931 to promote the commerce of the Mid-South. Each year the Business & Industry Salute Luncheon salutes and recognizes civic leaders and businesses that help make the community a great place to live.
Each year Carnival salutes an individual who has made an enormous impact on the Mid-South thru not only their business success, but also their charitable and community endeavors. The Cooke Halle Award is appropriately named for Carnival Memphis' visionary founders, Everett R. Cook and A. Arthur Halle.
This year’s salute commemorates the 77th Anniversary of Carnival Memphis, and honors the Music Industry.
Presented by Dixon Hughes
