| Welcome! |
uarding the gates of the Texas Renaissance Festival are the Beefeaters. Stalwart defenders of the gates of New Market village, they are a small detachment of the finest of the Yeomen of the King's Own Guard sent to New Market to secure the village for the King's annual progress, and ensure only invited guests are admitted to the festivities. Flamboyant and raucous, their importance can not be overstressed, as they are the first of the King's subjects that greet the guests on their way into the festival, and the last that they see as they start their journey home.
 Good day to thee! and welcome to the Yeomanry web site of the Texas Renaissance Festival. During the festival season the patrons pass by us Beefeaters so quickly on their way in, we barely get to know them. We realize this is solely due to their eagerness to enter the grounds and festivitate, but we wanted to provide a chance for people to stop and get to know the men beneath the skirts. Enter our realm by choosing a link to the left, and enjoy thy stay! |
| 2009 Week One: Blog Posts, Weather & Attendance |

Postings:
I was determined I would do weekly posts this year during the festival. Well that didn't exactly happen last week, but I'll try and do better. I've decided instead of doing a long detailed post per weekend, (Cat, I have no idea how you find the time...) I would try and do smaller, "bite-sized" posts as time allows.
Weather & Attendance:
So starting out about the first weekend: How about that weather? With an official high of 66°F they day dawned misty and improved to gray. Sunday started out really cloudy and deteriorated to a good hard rain that improved to light rain on and off all day. The high was 62°F and it ended up being one of those boring days that dragged on and on.
Not a bad opening weekend attendance-wise: 20,333 on Saturday, and 10,459 on Sunday, officially a Rain Day, but not as good as last year's opening.
Next time: What's new (and old) with the Beefeaters:
