PVCC Members,

I am reaching out regarding your concern about getting your camera bags in with our current bag policy. I manage the security checks at the gates and will make sure our team knows those bags are allowed. They may do a more thorough search since the bags are larger, but there should not be an issue getting in. If there is, please reach out to me directly. Also, tripods are allowed.
