On Saturday, February 26, guests of the Junior League of Dallas 2011 Ball, presented by Sewell, were transported "Into Africa" at The Ballroom at The Hilton Anatole. Guests were greeted by tribal dancers, drummers and models in elaborate animal costumes. While feasting on a spectacular African-inspired dinner, guests were surrounded by the lush jungle decor and sounds of the abundant wildlife of Africa. Linda Pitts Custard was Honorary Ball Chair and D'Andra Simmons served as the Ball Chair.
