Purcellville. As we consolidated our households, we realized we had many
unique items that would be of interest to a consignment shop; but there were
no consignment stores in this area. Because both of us had backgrounds in
retail, and had both been small business owners previously, the proverbial
light bulb went off. We opened on 21st Street in Purcellville with 1,200 sq ft,
4 clothing racks and 1 bookcase for home goods. We have grown to almost
10,000 sq. ft., of clothes for women, men, kids and teens as well as aisles full
of shelves of home goods, antiques and furniture.
With the success of our Purcellville store comes the obvious choice of
opening a second location. If there is a consistent theme to what we do, it’s

Walking with Giraffes By: Christina Kraybill
(Editor’s Note: Christina and her husband are
the proprietors of My Neighbor and Me on
E. Main Street– “My husband and I flew to
Kenya to visit my brother-in-law, James, who
works as a pilot for Samaritan’s Purse (he
flies supplies into refugee camps.) This is my
first trip to Africa & I look forward to many
new experiences”)
I took my first trip to Africa in January to
visit my husband’s brother in Kenya. It
was a memorable trip of long flights, traffic
jams in Nairobi, afternoon chai tea with old
and new friends, visiting the Maasai Mara
Wildlife Reserve, a trip to Tanzania, and
exploring my brother-in-law’s home area
surrounding Eldoret.
On our first day in Eldoret, James wanted to drive us to two famous sites- Kerio View and the Kruger Farm. Kerio View is
located in Iten; the city of world-class long-distance runners and high altitude training. The Hotel is perched at the edge of
the Kerio Valley escarpment with stunning views and the premier African site for paragliders. After a tasty lunch, we headed
to the Kruger farm to meet a friend of James.
We didn’t know until we arrived on the farm complex that we were entering one of the largest grain farms in Kenya with 1000
acres set aside for the endangered Rothschild’s Giraffe. After visiting with Yani Kruger, Luke was assigned to take us on a
walking tour of the farm.
We walked on the dirt lane past the house, silos, out-buildings, and headed
into the fields. We welcomed the relief from the sun while passing through
a eucalyptus tree forest only to come to a pond where four giraffes were
drinking. The sight took my breath away. After gazing several minutes
in quiet, Luke led us along the pond towards the edge of a field. From
this vantage point, we counted ten giraffes including a 2 month-old baby
giraffe. Unbeknownst to us, two giraffes were feeding behind us…one
decided to come for a closer look. We had the privilege to walk with him.
Editor: If you have not already, check out their new, larger location on Main
Street! Additionally she is now hosting Berryville Rhythm Jam the second
Tuesday of every month.

“Sightings from the South” Roseville Veterinary Clinic
(Millwood, Boyce, Waterloo & White Post that is..)
Roseville Veterinary Clinic was established by Dr. Eric Myer in 1973, at its present location at
26 South Greenway Avenue (Route 340) in Boyce. Dr. Myer had previously been practicing
from a building on his adjacent farm, from which he took the name Roseville. Dr. Thomas
Leahy joined the practice in 1983 as a new graduate from the University Of Tennessee
College Of Veterinary Medicine. At that time, the majority of the work was done on farm
animals and horses. To serve the large farming community, Drs. Myer and Leahy would
travel from farm to farm around the greater Clarke County area and into West Virginia,
both north to Jefferson County and west to Hampshire County. The pet portion of the
practice was mainly established to serve the needs of the local community and supplement
the farm animal work. The original hospital had a large area set aside to accommodate the farm animal work the area needed.
There was room for bovine and equine surgery, a padded surgical recovery stall for horses, and a heated pad embedded in the
floor for hospitalizing young calves and lambs. Over the years, with the area’s changing demographics and under the guidance of Dr. Leahy, the pet portion of the practice
continued to expand. It became necessary to enlarge the facility and reconfigure the large animal section to accommodate
and honor our growing small animal patient list. The expansion also provided room for an ever-growing range of the latest
medical diagnostic technologies in order to provide the level of medicine that Dr. Leahy wanted to offer.
We are pleased that today we are able to offer an exceptional variety of state of the art medicine from not just one facility,
but two. Opened in 1989, our sister hospital, Plaza Pet Clinic, is conveniently located on Senseny Road, in the Greenwood
section of Frederick County. Together, the 9 veterinarians and 20 staff members of the two hospitals are available to give
you and your pets the best of veterinary care. Each facility offers a complete in-house laboratory for prompt stat results and
a referral lab for more complex testing. Also we provide the newest digital radiographic equipment in the area, state of the
art ultrasound technology, and high resolution digital dental radiography as well. Our doctors stand ready to help you with
your pet’s medical, reproductive, behavioral, and nutritional needs, as well as offering acupuncture and laser therapy for less
invasive medical procedures for your pets. We at Roseville Veterinary Clinic and Plaza Pet Clinic would like to invite you to come and visit us and experience the caring
attitude and quality service that a small town veterinary hospital can provide. www.berryvillemainstreet.org

erryville is a beautiful
small town located in the
Shenandoah Valley and it
has secrets. I already wrote several
columns that indicate many of the
town’s buildings are haunted. I wrote
the Civil War stories. I wrote about
a speakeasy. Now, I write about our
town’s big secret. It is this—the town
is loaded with churches. Yep, we are a
population of a wee bit over 4,300 and
we are simply loaded with churches.
That is a good thing. I belong to Saint
Bridget’s of Ireland and I love my
church. If you are not Catholic,
don’t worry for you can pick from
the following:
Methodist: Crum’s United Methodist;
Marvin Chapel United Methodist;
Mount Carmel United Methodist ;
Providence Chapel United Methodist;
Duncan Memorial United Methodist Our town welcomes the new Pastor at
Duncan Memorial. We know he will
fall in love with our town.

Churches: Emmaus Church; Faith
Fellowship Church; Church of New
Beginnings; Church of the Nazarene

I think it is wonderful to have so many
churches supported by the people
of Berryville. At Thanksgiving and
Christmas the charity is abundant and
hopefully no one in town goes to sleep
on either holiday without a full tummy
and a gift. I love the involvement of
these church members in our schools,
our many organizations, our sports
programs, and with helping the elderly
and the poor. Thank you!

Fire House Gallery celebrates 5th Anniversary
T
he windows were washed. The champagne was chilling and the welcome mat
was ready to be rolled out the front door. What’s all the fuss? The Fire House
Gallery celebrated its 5th Anniversary with a special exhibit that opened on
Saturday, January 24th. The show recapped the highlights and accomplishments of each
year since the gallery opened on January 9th, 2010 - The threat of “snowzilla” did not put
a damper on the event, as it was well attended by the gallery’s artists, volunteers, and
members of the community. A big “Thank You” to everyone who “braved the elements”
and made this a wonderful celebration. Also a special acknowledgement to Kate
Petranech, Executive Director, for her tireless time and efforts throughout the years.
