Native Artists Exhibit and Reception.

Sheep Dip 52

The 52nd annual roast of the town show exposes the follies and foibles of the Truckee Meadows in an evening of skits, songs and dance performed by area residents, along with a few politicians and members of the local media. The fund-raising show gets its name from the practice of dipping sheep in a liquid formulation of insecticide and fungicide, which some shepherds and farmers use to protect their sheep from infestation against parasites. The show, therefore, “dips” local newsmakers in a “satirical vat of Sheep Dip to cleanse them of their past deeds.” This year, the show will benefit Evelyn Mount Community Outreach and Honor Flight Nevada. Sheep Dip performances are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22-23, at the Nugget Casino Resort, 1100 Nugget Ave., Sparks. Tickets are $35. Call 356-3300 or visit http://sheepdipshow.org.
