Mardie Caldwell, owner of the Foothills Event Center in Grass Valley, said phone calls began pouring in from community members expressing sympathy and best wishes after she announced earlier this week that the event center will be transferred to new owners this summer.
The space at 400 Idaho Maryland Drive in Grass Valley will no longer be an event center.
Caldwell said the center would have no issue going forward with clients’ events through July, and that other upcoming clients had been contacted and offered refunds or, in the case of some of the clients planning weddings at the center, shifted their plans to Caldwell’s outdoor venue, Rough & Ready Vineyards.

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.
