Special to Prospector
As Nevada County begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is obvious people are looking forward to resuming a life outside their homes. One of the hardest hit industries, live venues, is seeing it first-hand with events quickly selling out – in part due to limited capacity – but primarily due to the public hunger for live entertainment.
The Miners Foundry Cultural Center in Nevada City has spent the last 14 months, with public safety in mind, developing protocols that followed mandated guidelines while also offering entertainment in a variety of formats intent on keeping the historic venue solvent. Assistant Director Kat Kress gives all the credit to Executive Director Gretchen Bond.

ELLSWORTH The Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating its 65th year in a new location. The chamber is moving this week across the parking lot to a newly refurbished space next to Martha’s Diner.
The new address is 151 High St., Suite 5. The space, formerly occupied by a nail salon and hair salon, has been gutted and renovated to make an airy visitor center with offices and storage. The entire front is a large expanse of glass. Eleven-foot ceilings in the visitor center give a contemporary look to the chamber’s new home.
