Fancy Farm Hosts Picnic, Politics And Fundraiser

• {Kentucky}...Politicians will be flocking to the tiny western Kentucky community of Fancy Farm this Saturday for a church picnic that serves as the official launching campaign for statewide candidates. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the get-together at St. Jerome Parish, including Democratic Governor  Steve Beshear and his two challengers in the November 8 general election, Republican David Williams and Independent Gatewood Galbraith. Temperatures are predicted to be in the low 90s, but will feel hotter because of the region's high humidity levels. Though politics is the major draw, the Fancy Farm picnic actually is a fundraiser for the Catholic church. By Saturday night, the church will have raised about $250,000, primarily from sales of picnic food, a vehicle raffle and bingo games.
