Justin Timberlake will headline a rally and canvass kickoff for Sen. Barack Obama Saturday.

Timberlake rounds out a busy week of surrogate activity in Nevada. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano campaigned on Obama's behalf in Reno Sunday. Former Sen. Majority Leader Tom Daschle appeared in Las Vegas Wednesday. Montana Sen. Jon Tester is hosting economic roundtables in rural Nevada today, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will be in town tomorrow.

The Timberlake event at the Clark County Amphitheater is free and open to the public. The event is aimed at engaging the youth vote. The last day to register to vote in person at county election offices is Oct. 14. Early voting begins Oct. 18.

The singer is also in town to do a couple of benefits for the Shriners hospitals. He's hosting a PGA tourney and a pro-am -- officially, the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open -- Monday through Oct. 19 at TPC Summerlin. And Timberlake and his singing buddies -- Maroon 5, Rascal Flatts and the Jonas Brothers -- perform Oct. 17 at Planet Hollywood.
