SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
(MINDEN, Nev.) – Cowboy poetry, lively music, tales of the trail, stretch-the-truth yarns and good old-fashioned cowboy fun are all part of the 24th Annual Rhymers Rodeer in the Carson Valley Inn’s Valley Ballroom on Friday and Saturday, November 4 and 5, 2011. This year’s artists include Dave Bourne, the piano player from the Gem Saloon on HBO’s hit series “Deadwood,” plus cowboy poets Doris Daley, Ken Cook and Bob Christensen. The emcee is the always-clever and sometimes-irreverent western humorist McAvoy Layne as Mark Twain.
