Fancy Farm, Ky.–Add Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to the list of politicians who will be attending this year’s Fancy Farm barbecue and political rally next weekend.
Fancy Farm officials confirmed McConnell’s appearance Saturday morning.
Also confirmed are Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and Attorney General Andy Beshear, who is Bevin’s Democrat challenger for the state’s top seat. Bevin skipped the last two Fancy Farm picnics.
The annual Fancy Farm picnic is famed for its barbecue and its fiery political rhetoric. The Fancy Farm event marks the traditional start of the fall campaign season. Candidates on both sides of the aisle take the podium before crowds of hecklers.
This year’s picnic will take place August 3 during St. Jerome Catholic Church’s annual picnic in Fancy Farm, Kentucky.
