John Hook's Reports

PHOENIX (FOX 10) -- Tuesday, February 26, is the 100th birthday for Grand Canyon National Park.

Grand Canyon was officially designated a national park by the Federal government on February 26, 1919. Nowadays, the park welcomes millions of visitors a year, and 2019 is expected to be very busy due to the centennial birthday. That could mean lots of business for other towns in Northern Arizona, including the town of Williams.

FOX 10's John Hook and Kari Lake spoke with Airbnb's Christopher Nulty on the phone.
