The 13th annual Cowboy Jubilee and Poetry is coming to town March 10.

This fun night for a great cause is organized by the Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare Auxiliary, which really knows how to put together an authentic Western barbecue with all the fixin's.

This year, the show will feature cowboy poet Paul Zarazyski, with music by Sourdough Slim, Juni Fisher and Wylie and the Wild West.
