After initially not acknowledging a request asking how many masks were given to guests and how they were distributed, a spokeswoman for Henry Mask said after this article was posted that more than 1,000 masks were gifted “to make sure that everyone had masks walking in the door as well as those working the event.” There also had been no response at press time regarding whether Richfresh and his brother supplied the masks as a vendor or supplied them as a gift.
