ABOUT THE OPEN DOOR

The Open Door is an entertainment event held once a month in the function hall at Smith church, downtown Hillsborough (the church with the clock in the steeple). There’s lots of free parking and the doors open by 6:30pm. People bring goodies to share and we provide decaf coffee and decaf tea, ice water, and hot cocoa and, of course, the exciting entertainment. Admission is FREE, although donations are gratefully accepted to help us off-set costs. The Open Door entertainment is local and outstanding, and we always brag that our audience is The Best!! The warm and welcoming atmosphere, our wonderful audience and great performers will keep you coming back month after month.

Even MORE Thank-You's!

I neglected to mention a very important moment that occurred at the November 2 Open Door.  I apologize to Doug Hatfield for my oversight.  Let me correct that error here and now.

At the Open Door on Friday,we shared the news that the benefit concert Just Desserts put on the previous Saturday night had raised over one thousand dollars for the church.  Doug Hatfield took the stage and very eloquently thanked Just Desserts for all our work on the benefit concert and, in addition, "sang our praises" for bringing music to the community through The Open Door, a Community Coffee House.

It's truly humbling to hear people say that The Open Door does so much for our community.  Bringing people together for positive, reciprocal support is why we do this thing, and the fact that people participate in every and any way they can is gratifying.  The Open Door is a Community Coffee House in more than name and it would not be the wonderful event that it has become without everyone who is involved and we, in turn, thank all of you.
