Doors Open drew 4,400 to community

On June 28, historic doors all over Fergus were unlocked for residents and visitors, and thousands took ad­vantage of it.

“This year’s Doors Open event, which was held in collaboration with the Fergus 175 celebrations, exceeded all ex­pectations,” said the co-chair­man of the event’s organi­zing committee, Libby Walker. “With over 12 sites, 104 volun­teers, and 4,400 patrons, this one-day event captured the curiosity of the local commu­nity and attracted people from all over Ontario.”

Of special interest were The Grand Theatre, The Beatty House, Stonehurst Bed and Breakfast, the Coun­ty Muse­um, and Templin Gardens.

Each location saw more than 350 people visit over six-hours.
