June 16, 1966

Roundabout Camp, a girls riding school and camp near Sperryville that will accommodate about thirty boarding campers, will open officially on June 26. The camp is located on Route 231 in the F. T. Valley and is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Haggerty and their daughter, Sue. The Haggertys purchased the 80-acre farm from Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jenkins last August and have been remodeling and constructing needed facilities. The farmhouse is nestled among the trees and in the center an 18-stall horse barn and riding ring. Two new buildings which will be a dormitory and a dinning and recreation hall. Behind the house is a new swimming pool in final stages of completion and a small white cottage will house the crafts department.

Plans for Roundabout came into being when the Haggerty family, living and traveling in many parts of the world, decided to pool their talents and settle down. Mr. Haggerty resigned his position as an aircraft manufacturer representative, and Sue, who had been teaching riding in Pennsylvania, resigned also.

The Haggerty family has worked enthusiastically to have Roundabout Camp ready for its June 26 opening.

Noel A. Laing of Bunree Farm in Amissville received his degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Georgia in Athens at graduation ceremonies held June 4, 1966.
