Judy Cory Returns !

A Real Character from the Renaissance Faire HISTORY Returns !

Oh, my goodness ! Yesterday as a part of the Pre-Faire workshops at the Santa Fe Dam in preparation for the Ren. Pleasure Faire's 46th Edition... she looked somehow familiar, but I couldn't 'place' her...

Then she introduced herself ---- Judy Cory !

Migosh, if you already KNOW her name, you can understand how happy I was to be in her presence ! If not, let me just say that Judy, along with Ron and Phyllis Patterson, is one of the people MOST RESPONSIBLE for ALL the Renaissance Fairs, as we know them today, held worldwide !

There is more, MUCH MORE that could be said about her, of course.

My mother, a Volunteer and Radio Station KPFK subscriber, helped to plan and put on The First Renaissance Pleasure Faire EVER... and it was Judy who 'to the core' was a vital part of 'all that'... and, yesterday, I got to meet her, and be a participant in her "Hawking to Sell" workshop !

I kind of dont' want to 'Spill the Beans' about this, for I myself plan on attending ALL of the next ones that she will give... but if YOU really are interested in 'experiencing a part of Faire History' --- well, attending her workshop will do that for you !

I am So Glad that she has 'come back' to Faire ! She may not do much more than this, at least for now, and has been gone for quite some time....

For me, like the Return of Spring, I feel so 'Refreshed' by the moment, and so full of hope and expectation for a Glorious New Faire Season !

HIP HIP HUZZAH, indeed !

      Judy Kory posts on another list I belong to, and I have seen her performing at Dickens last year: she is one of the very first people I remember from Faires in the 60's and 70's.
