WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A celebration on the Big E fairgrounds Monday, after organizations representing the tourism industry across western Massachusetts received a $1 million grant. The goal is to highlight the many sights to see including the Hall of Fame and encourage people to visit during the times they traditionally wouldn't. 'It's a testament to the success of the tourism industry out here in Greater Springfield and our region will benefit for a long time to come from this,' said Eugene Cassidy, President/CEO of Eastern States Exposition.
