The Northwest Regional Airshow was granted $22,150 and Pacific Northwest Music Festival (PNMF) added $15,000 from the Fairs, Festivals and Events Recovery Fund, designed to help organizers resume events this year.
The funding stream distributed funds for 680 events in 134 communities, totalling close to $30 million.
