After taking some much needed time to catch our breaths after such an amazing weekend, we just wanted to take a moment and recognize some of the people who were absolutely crucial to the success of Zutopia Music and Art Festival.
We want to start by thanking our production team. Sean Dobbins with Conscious Sound Systems and Lighting did a phenomenal job. The lights, lasers and sound quality on the main stage was perfect all weekend long. The homies Chance Goethe and Ryan "Turtle" Thompson teamed up to deliver great visuals on the LED wall from Strobe Society. A big thank you to Ian Force, Frank Saputo and the rest of the Wooksville crew: Joey, Amanda, Sunshine Rae, Dan, Matt, Gage... you guys were amazing and completely professional. It was a real pleasure working together and that second stage looked and sounded fantastic all weekend long. Another big thank you to Daniel Noelle and Mike Baratta from Conceptual Visions. The projection mapping, the uplighting and the silent disco were all top tier and helped keep the vibes going after the music was over each night.
A huge thank you to our volunteers and staff. You guys were the glue that kept everything together throughout the weekend and without your help, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the festival with all of you.
A special thank you to the Planet Zuton team: Travis Tracer Holland, Gracie Garcia, Jesse Eugene and everyone else who came together to help create the amazing art installation that was enjoyed by so many attendees.
Thanks to Sun City Stables and their staff for hosting our festival. You guys are always so accommodating and helpful. You always make us feel right at home.
We also wanted to recognize two very important people. Without these individuals, this festival would have never happened. First and foremost, Ashley Nicole, we are forever in your debt. You believed in us when nobody else did and you made this entire event possible. You worked tirelessly with us and we're always so helpful. Thank you for allowing us to chase our dreams again. We also wanted to give special recognition to Gina Greenwood. You were absolutely critical in every step and in every detail of this festival. We certainly couldn't have done it without the countless hours that you poured into this event.
Last but not least, a big thank you to all of you who came and attended Zutopia Music and Art Festival. Thank you for your patronage and support. We hope that you all enjoyed yourselves and that our little festival will always hold a big spot in your hearts. Until next time...Life is short - love one another! 🖖👽💚
