They have received many calls this year regarding security and that is understandable in light of the state of our nation and recent events. They have always had security every year at the event. Some officers in uniform and some plain clothes security. This year we have added additional men to that count. New this year, we ask that no one brings in large bags, purses or backpacks. For Security Purposes any Large Bag or Purse may be subject to search. Any bag left unattended will be confiscated.
