As part of the Olympic Peninsula Air Affaire at the Sequim Valley Airport, pilots from as far as Seattle flew and displayed radio control airplanes and fliers. Local businesses and individuals donated items for raffles that all benefited VHCC along with a donation jar. Organizers said this was their biggest event yet and they hope to increase the donation at the 2015 event.
