The Arizona State Fairgrounds announced Monday that a new carnival will kick off Thursday on the same grounds where a Maricopa County election audit is taking place.

The "Crazy Times Carnival" is scheduled to run 11 nights outside the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, where auditors are hand counting nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in the November 2020 general election.

Maintaining security at the coliseum has been a key concern during the audit. Jen Yee, a spokesperson for the fairgrounds, said the carnival will be fenced off, with the north lot set aside for audit parking.

The fairgrounds marketing team brainstormed names for possible live events early in the pandemic "when the world first imploded," Yee said. They came up with "Crazy Times Carnival" well before the Nov. 3 election or before anyone imagined a ballot recount happening inside the coliseum.

1. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

The website is certainly impressive. “Ride list coming soon! Food list coming soon! Game list coming soon!” For an event that starts today? Maybe the same people managing the crazy times “audit” are running the carnival.
