About 22 Sweetwater County players gathered to play the Red Desert Humane Society Poker Tournament at Buckin’ Bar in Green River on Dec. 11.
According to Rock Springs poker player Christina Serafini, she helped organize the event because she has “a very strong and very big heart when it comes for the love of animals of all kinds.”
“It breaks my heart when I see posts and videos online of helpless pets that don’t have a voice and don’t have the care or supplies,” Serafini expressed. “I try and help wherever and whenever I can so that the pets don’t have to suffer.
