"It's them," someone called out as some
unexpected friends arrived at the picnic.

Reunion Review
Heidi Barthelemy
March 21, 2000

The weather was so very beautiful in Agoura on Sunday, March 19, 2000 that it felt to be a perfect Vernal Equinox/Faire Reunion/Full Moon day!

Cock and Feathers did a unique perfomance of their show honoring Billy Scudder. The Wizards Warred Wondrously and all was well in Witches Wood. About 150 people gathered in Witches Wood for the show and up on Procession Hill for a collective remembering of departed friends.

Many costumed gatherers shared Picnics and renewed connections. Jim Kelly brought food and drink to share from his Dance with Jim party the night before. There were many blank stares followed by giggles of recognition as folks met each other again for the first time in many years.

Donations more than covered our costs and we now have a little seed money for next year. We even had a generous donation from someone who was not able to be with us. We are also donating a couple of brooms and a rake so we can clean up our own event site next time more easily.

We want to thank everyone for respecting the exit call and knowing when it was time to leave. We will be putting out the call for volunteers about once a month for a clean-up effort at the Ranch. The next clean-up day is scheduled for April 8, 2000 and we have already started a sign-up sheet... you know who you are! Please contact us if you want more information, and pass the word to others who may not be on this list or may not have email.

Keep an eye on the web site for next year's news and feel free to submit photos and articles to update the web site.

A great time was had by all. Thank you all for participating and we hope to see many more of you and your friends at our future gatherings!

The Joy is up!
