Judy started "A Special Event" in 1992 as a home-based event decorating company specializing in balloon decor. She quickly grew to fill a large industrial warehouse space and added fabric draping and props to her offerings. Four years ago, she decided to move the business back home and specialize in fabric draping, lighting, balloons and most recently added fresh florals to her line-up. Judy was one of the first 100 CBA's worldwide and is one of the founders and past president of Southern California Qualatex Balloon Network. Judy has been lucky enough to travel the world teaching her trade and is very excited to be back at Ballooniversity, especially on this banner year.
