With rain opening unexpected sinkholes all over Phoenix and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO — and current tea party member — Herman Cain winning Arizona’s presidential straw polls, we wouldn’t blame you for wanting to stick your head in the sand right now.

The event features live music from Paris James and Eddie Money, a sea lion show, and valiant knights jousting on horseback.
