Hi, I'm Judy Russo, and I came to the Valley Looking for a better way of life. Little did I know I would meet the man I would spend the rest of my life with.

I initially joined the festival to support my husband, but have found it to be fun and interesting. For two years I was the bookkeeper for Select Market in Selma, so I keep the records and finances in order for the festival organization and I am a crafter myself. I make anything that catches my fancy, from clothes to furniture. My husband tells everyone "My wife came with power tools."

We love the valley and want to see it grow and prosper for the sake of our children and grand children. The Wild Blackberry Festival organization is a great way to accomplish this and more. Won't you join us?
