We are a group of volunteers and sighthound owners who enjoy bringing Renaissance history to life at both the Carolina and Georgia Renaissance festivals and the Enchanted Chalice Renaissance Faire. We educate patrons about the role our beloved sighthound breeds played in history. Currently, members of HoEF have Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Whippets, Borzoi, Afghan Hounds, Scottish Deerhounds, Ibizan hounds, Salukis, and Bloodhounds. We also love to share our hounds and promote sighthound adoption and responsible dog ownership. 
We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit, educational re-enactment group. We are not an adoption/placement group. Most of our volunteers work with adoption groups. All donations received go to our active Greyhound and Sighthound adoption groups. 

In loving memory of our Queen,
​Carol Carson-Vale

Do not stand at my grave and weep 
I am not there. I do not sleep. 
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glints on snow. 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain. 
When you awaken in the morning's hush 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. 
I am the soft stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry; 
I am not there. I did not die.
