Fancy Farm in 3 weeks. Can you come?

On the first Saturday in August every year, hundreds of politically-minded people along with many candidates and public officials come to a tiny town in far western Kentucky for a rigorous day of stump speeches and barbecue called Fancy Farm, an event that tends to set the tone for the last 3 months of the election season.

This will be the 7th year KFTC has brought members out to the event to talk to candidates and others about important issues like voting rights, progressive tax reform and mountaintop removal mining. We'll be passing out hundreds of stickers, fans and newsletters and showing candidates that our members are involved in the political process at all levels.

In short, we'll be trying to elevate the discussion and talk about real issues and solutions that can help make our Commonwealth better.

Fancy Farm festivities in Graves County fall on Saturday, August 4th this year and KFTC will have carpools leaving from many communities across the state on August 3rd to get there in time (it's a long journey from most chapter areas).

The political speeches start at 2 p.m., so much of our field work will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If we have a member with an RV that would like to come out with us, that would be especially great.
