The Genoa Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival is a wonderful blend of setting, heritage and western culture and entertainment. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada in the beautiful Carson Valley, historic Genoa is the site of the first ranch in Nevada and still has working cattle ranches literally steps from the town. From its 19th century beginnings, cowboys and ranching have shared work, words and music here. In 2010, this made the inaugural Genoa Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival a natural. Join us in 2011 as headliners Paul Zarzyski, Dave Stamey, Belinda Gail and Wylie & the Wild West take the stage. There's more, like workshops, galleries of art and collectibles and cowboy dinners and dances, all within historic Genoa. There's even a trail ride into the Pinenut Mountains.

The Associated Press reports this morning that the Bureau of Land Management is investigating the shooting deaths of a small number of mustangs that had been part of a free-roaming herd on BLM land in Nevada. The horses were spotted by a helicopter pilot during a roundup about 120 miles north of Reno.
