An evening of Cowboy Poetry takes place Tuesday at Crown Point Restaurant Gold Hill Hotel, 1540 S. Main St, Gold Hill, one mile south of Virginia City on Highway 341.

Featuring the talent of Tony Argento, in "Tuned Up & Twisted, Cowboy Poetry at Its Best," the evening is a sure bet for laughter and possibly some learning, said Karen Wright, publicist.

Argento began reciting cowboy poetry at the age of 5, carrying on a family tradition started by his grandfather. His topics range from humor and rodeo to classic, patriotic and beyond.

The show includes a buffet dinner served from 5:30-7 p.m. with show time at 7:30 p.m. To reserve a spot, call Gold Hill Hotel at 775-847-0111. For more information on Argento, visit tonyargento.com
