Help Us Find a Name

The Grand Canyon Association adopts out cute little lions and the Grand Canyon Chamber has one. The problem is that our little mascot needs a name! Our lion sits on the front counter with an official adoption certificate ready to greet our visitors. YOU can help with a name suggestion! just send us an email to info@grandcanyonvisitorbureau.com with your suggestion. Next month, we'll publish the suggestions and ask you to vote. The most popular name wins and whoever sent us that name will receive their very own lion. We'll also post our mascot's name and the name of our winner right there in our office!
