For The Records-
The attendance at the Texas Renaissance Festival is of special importance
to the Beefeaters; it's what we do! Each visitor to New Market Village must
have a Royal Invitation, (you would call it a ticket) and the Beefeaters
ensure that they present it as they enter. We also courteously greet each
guest as they enter, give them leave to exit and return, offer suggestions
on where to go, and last, but most importantly, bid them a "fare thee well"
as they leave.
One of the most often asked questions of a Beefeater (after "Where's the
bathroom?" and "May I take your picture?") is "How many people are here today?"
The answer for the last few years has been "A record number."
(If you are curious about some of the other often silly questions asked of
the Beefeaters, check out our FAQ page).
If you are curious just how many people we greet each day of the fair, (as
we often are at the end of a busy day hard at work) you'll find the answer
here. Numbers will be updated by Monday morning during fair, so check back then.
