Crazy Times Carnival to take place on same grounds as Maricopa County election audit Nicole Sadek, Arizona Republic
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.
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.
