To call all pearl and animal lovers for the cinema Save & Mineral Show!

Tucson, Ariz. (Kgun) – When you arrive at Kino Gem & Mineral Show, you stumble over hundreds of different suppliers. It will be hard to miss it where a baby donkey and goat greet you!

“When people come out here for the pearl show, they are absolutely shocked when they walk around the corner, and they look cool here, they see Smook, we bring out a number of animals all week,” said Scott Tilley, co-founder of Therapeutic ranch for animals and children (Pulled).

Pulling is a nonprofit that helps children with or without specific challenges.

Pulling has a space on the Save Show where people can learn more and donate to their organization. They share their place with the queen of cliffs.

“Just know when you start this hobby, it can be an obsession!” Said Michal Mael, who imports pearls and minerals from all over the world.

Mael explains how much pulled has made a difference in his life.

“I have two children with autism,” she said. “I saw the love and the transformation that happens to these beautiful animals they have.”

“People will see everything from a full -size horse to our miniature donkey,” Tilley explained. “We’ll do this more to a kid -friendly event.”

As people approach their area, they can take a photo with a huge amethyst butterfly for $ 5. Plus the animals will be in that photo with you. The money goes to pull.
