ABOUT THE YEAR IN REVIEW
In 2005 I began publishing a Year in Review highlighting all the events, products, and happenings of the previous year in the crazy world of Judy “fandom.”
Originally the Year in Review was in a single sheet, full color printed format. I printed a limited number that was mailed out to the first responders to the email notification. A print-quality PDF was available for download.
Printing hard copies limited the amount of space available and the flexibility that a digital-only version provided. So, the 2010 edition was done in the digital-only format. This allows me to include an unlimited number of pages, photos, and information for each year and keeps it “green” in that no paper is used. High-quality print versions are available for those who want to print their own copies.
NOTE: To properly render the media embedded in some of the PDFs, it’s best to use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or the interactive readers as shown above.
The 2022 Year in Review is a Special Garland Centennial edition of the Garlands for Judy webzine.
Highlights:
- Get Happy! The Judy Garland Exhibit
- The New Judy Garland Fragrance
- Tributes
- New Releases from The Warner Archive & CD labels
- Dorothy Dress Drama!
- The Judy Room’s Centennial Section
Last year I noted that the Year in Review would be 100% web-based, but since 2022 was such a special anniversary year, I thought it would be nice for everyone to have a PDF “webzine.” The format seemed fitting for the Judy Garland Centennial. Enjoy!
The 2021 Year in Review features:
- New Releases from The Warner Archive
- New section: “Judy Garland on the MGM Back Lot”
- Flashback to 2011
The Year in Review is now web-based. No more PDFs! This is due partly to the fact that 2021 wasn’t a big year but also because it’s easier to access and can be much more interactive.
The 2020 Year in Review features:
- New Releases from The Warner Archive
