sugarskullHave you been searching for fun things to do with friends now that the kids are back at school? Maybe a painting and wine class in Grass Valley? At the Foothills Event Center, we host laid-back painting and wine classes a few times a month! The company which runs the classes is called Come Paint With Us. Join in for a fun and relaxing afternoons (or evening) spent sipping wine and indulging in your creativity.

On Sunday, October 16th from 3:00 to 6:00 pm, the artistic director will be holding a fun painting class, “Sugar Skull.”

Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is an autumn holiday celebrated in Mexico. There, native people have united the Catholic holy day “All Saint’s Day” with their ancient beliefs of honoring deceased loved ones. Sugar skulls are symbolic, meant to honor loved ones who have passed.
