Nickerson Field Protocol
Such items as champagne, balloons, and beach balls, and any similar paraphernalia,
will not be allowed into Nickerson Field. Our security staff has been

proceed without interruptions. Out of consideration for others, we ask
that cellular telephones and other electronic paging devices be turned off during the ceremony.
