Owner Mardie Caldwell announced Monday that The Foothills Event Center will be transferring to new owners by August and will no longer operate as an event venue, a press release states.
“Creating this space was a labor of love for our community, and it was an honor to host so many celebrations and events for our Nevada County neighbors, as well as many from out of the area,” she said in the release.
Caldwell purchased and rehabilitated the former Weaver Auto Center in September 2013, turning it into a gathering place for the community. During its successful eight-year run, it hosted weddings, celebrations of life, fundraisers, concerts, seminars, and other events. It is also a popular venue with governmental organizations because of its parking, ADA accessibility, and open space to allow any configuration.
