Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority decided which events will receive funding this year


RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) - Today, the RSCVA announced how they will allocate their nearly 200-thousand dollar budget for special events, and the National Championship Air Races received the most support. The announcement was made by the RSCVAs special events and Marketing Manager, Nina Maestas.

A panel made up of independent anonymous members was unanimous in their decision that the top priority for 2012 funding was to support the National Championship Air Races, given the tragic crash in September 2011. The air races will be awarded $75,000. 100% of the funds applied for the next most financially supported event was the Reno Open PGA Tour, which will be awarded $40,000 of the $1 million they applied for. The best in the West Nugget Rib Cookoff did not receive any funds.
