Strutzfest 2010
Thank you to all who visited StrutzFest 2010 and helped to make
the event a success! We hope you enjoyed all the talented and
entertaining bands as well as the fantastic venue. A special thank
you to all of you who helped to keep your campsites and the venue
clean and for respecting the Darrington Bluegrass Association
property. You made the jobs of our security and staff much easier
and the event run much more smoothly and for that, we personally
thank you!
We would like to thank all of our VOLUNTEERS for helping with
the ticket gates, security, sanitation, stage crew, stage construction,
and all the many other duties required to run a music festival.
There are far too many people to name them all, but
..WE
THANK YOU. You all know who you are and we are so very grateful
for you and your efforts throughout the weekend.
We also have a handful of VERY SPECIAL people to thank. Many
of whom have been involved throughout the year with preparations,
promotions, advertising, etc. and many of whom the work has yet
to be completed to finalize the event. Without each one of you
~ your tireless energy, dedication and most importantly, your
time ~ we would NOT have been able to do StrutzFest. We can't
name all of you for fear of missing someone, but you know who
you are
.THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU!
Look for pictures of 2010's festival to be posted on the website
in the near future. If you have pictures you'd like to share,
please send them to us at strutzfest@yahoo.com. And don't forget
to sign our guestbook, we love to hear from you!

Nestled in the pristine landscape just 25 miles
east of Arlington, WA lies the Whitehorse Mountain Amphitheater.
Owned and operated by the Darrington Bluegrass Association, a
truly unique venue that has been host to some of the biggest names
in the history of classic rock. It is in that tradition we are
proud to present
"STRUTZFEST"
Dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, Mike Turner, an amazing
friend who loved music and life, with a generous spirit that touched
everyone he met. The administrators of STRUTZFEST, through The
Mike Turner Memorial Foundation, will donate
money
raised through ticket sales to Children's Hospital of Seattle,
along with other local charities.
Toby's band, known as "STRUTZ", was a main staple of
the regular line-up of artists that performed year after year
at the annual rock shows in Darrington. With six years performing
at these festivals, Toby chose to pull his band from the roster
during the last two due to changes in production companies. That
decision proved to be wise, as handling of those events resulted
in unpleasant publicity and a negative name for the festival altogether.
With a couple years off, Toby decided it was time to put together
another show -- one that the public and bands alike could gather
to enjoy the music, environment and camaraderie of the event.
With that, Toby and friends founded the Mike Turner Memorial Foundation
and the plan was set in motion to dedicate the revenues from this
festival to deserving charities and local youth organizations.
With a thousand available campsites and full service food and
beverage vendors, STRUTZFEST '10 promises to be one of the most
memorable events of the summer.
