Fancy Farm this weekend!

Over 10,000 people will flock to the small town of Fancy Farm this weekend for the largest picnic in the world, some great barbecue and the largest Kentucky political event of the year, with stump speeches, over-the-top political skits, and good, old-fashioned small-town southern politics.

We'll bring a group of KFTC members from across the state to cut through a lot of the partisan posturing and talk to people (including candidates and elected officials) about real issues facing Kentucky.

Many of us will travel from Lexington or other parts of the state and spend Friday night in the area, but others closer (like from Bowling Green) could just leave Saturday morning and join us.

The big speeches themselves start around 2 p.m. on Saturday and we're hoping everyone can make it there by 10 a.m. at the latest.

KFTC will especially be talking to people about our Voting Rights campaign and passing out 1,000 stickers, information, and asking people to sign postcards to legislators.  Our allies with the Catholic Conference and People Advocating Recovery will also be there, talking to people about Voting Rights. 

Please contact Dave Newton at (859) 420-8919 or Dave@kftc.org if you're interested in joining us.
