The biggest thing I could find with "Fancy Farm" on it

Not going to lie. If I wasn’t with someone who knew the way or we didn’t have the marvels of today’s technology, there’s a small chance that I would have actually made it to the Fancy Farm Picnic. Well that is of course I didn’t start following the miles upon miles of campaign sign’s leading the way.

I was expecting just a farm in the middle of no where and just a big stage but apparently Fancy Farm has grown up through the years. There were plenty of structures around, most of which were serving some southern pulled pork. There’s even a little community around the farm and a baseball park(which is where we ended up parking).

Pulled Pork Bar-B-Q Nachos

After roaming the grounds for about an hour enjoying some of the 18,000 lbs of pulled pork, some lemonade(Fancy Farm is located in a dry county), some bingo and some festive games the political debates started.

Mitch Cracking Jokes

Mitch McConnell kicked things of with some hilarious low balls to the democratic party. I immediately began to understand the humor of this event. Rand Paul only continued with the jokes. I was expecting some good humor back from the Democrats but was sorely disappointed. All Democrat speeches had more cookie cutters then my mom uses when I’m home for the holiday’s.

Overall, Fancy Farm is a significant part of Kentucky politics that should be enjoyed by all of those with a good sense of humor during the first weekend in August.
