Comstock Cowboys play at two events

David John and the Comstock Cowboys will perform at two events this weekend:

n Families for Effective Autism Treatment of the Carson Valley is offering a FEAT Benefit Weekend, which includes a charity dinner event and a golf tournament.

An Evening on the Comstock, an Autism Benefit for Children, will feature David John and the Comstock Cowboys, 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Buffalo Creek Ranch, 319 Jones Lane in Gardnerville. In addition to the concert by the Comstock Cowboys, the event includes a charity dinner and a silent auction.

Tickets are $75, and can be purchased at Down on the Farm in Gardnerville, Glen Eagles in Carson City or La Ferme in Genoa. This is an adult event, no children please. Dress in casual attire.

Tee off to benefit FEAT the day before.

The first annual Buffalo Creek Invitational Golf Tournament will be held at Genoa Lakes Golf Course in Genoa on Aug. 4. Tickets to play in the golf tournament are sold out, but if you would like to sponsor this event, contact David Semas at dms@buffalocreekranchnv.com.
