Required for GARF Cast Members:
Dates: Weekends in April, May, June
Time: 10:30 am - 6 pm
Location: Fairburn, GA (near Atlanta, GA)
Approved garb: court only! (Garb must be approved by a HOEF Advisory Board member)
Breeds allowed: Afghan Hound, Bloodhound, Borzoi, Galgo Espanol, Ibizan Hound, Irish Wolfhound, Italian Greyhound, Greyhound, Pharaoh Hound, Saluki, Scottish Deerhound, Whippet
Setting: 16th Century European Village (England)
HOEF’s role: HOEF is currently part of the Royal Court at GARF. This means that, until we establish a location of our own, we are stationed in the royal pavilion. We are allowed to walk around as much as we want. We are also invited to take part in the jousts and sit on the stage below the royal court. This requires proper court garb. Not all hounds do well with this so be prepared just in case. It is optional and if you are uncomfortable with your hound attending the joust you do not need to attend. Please be aware that the Humane Society has a location on site and you may encounter many breeds, mixes, and sizes of adoptable dogs which may or may not be good with other dogs or trained. GARF also has a pet-friendly weekend and many different types of pets will show up so be prepared to meet cats, ferrets, etc. Therefore, it is imperative that we always maintain control of our hounds and choose our representatives wisely. For example, a hound that is unsafe with small dogs would be a poor choice on pet friendly weekend. Please remember that we should always be in character when on stage, even when walking around.
