Discover the charm and potential of the Fancy Farm area. Widely known for its annual 'picnic', the political speaking event has attracted attention from the news media for decades at the Fancy Farm Picnic. Political speaking dates back to the early 1900's when politicians visited the picnic informally to campaign among the large crowds. The Fancy Farm Picnic, which serves as a charitable fundraiser for the sponsor, St. Jerome Catholic Church, has quickly transformed into Kentucky's inaugural event for the statewide fall political season. Some of the nation's most prominent politicians have addressed the crowds form the speakers' stand, dating back to US Vice-President Alben Barkley, a native of the nearby town of Wheel, Kentucky. Another frequent speaker was Kentucky political legend and sometimes rival of Barkley's, A.B. "Happy" Chandler, who served as Governor, US Senator, and Hall-of-Fame Commissioner of Major League Baseball with Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Vice-President Al Gore and Vice-Presidential candidate Lloyd Bentson each visited the picnic. Attending in 1975 was Presidential candidate George Wallace, who had survived an assassination attempt to another part of the country. He told the crowd he was still "a little gun-shy" after a photographer's flash bulb exploded twice during a misty rain. The large crowds and extensive media coverage make the rich tradition of the Fancy Farm Picnic a must-attend stop for the first Saturday in August for any aspiring politician or office-holder. While each picnic brings something unique, they all have three things in common: hot weather, hot barbecue and hot politics.Introducing an exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of Fancy Farm, Kentucky.
