The Fancy Farm Picnic is just a couple of weeks away and some of the biggest names in state and national politics have already confirmed they will attend the annual church picnic. The picnic has evolved into the state's premier political event, serving as a kickoff of sorts for the fall campaign season.

Fancy Farm political chairman Mark Wilson said Gov. Matt Bevin has already signed up to speak at Fancy Farm, as has Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. Paul's Democratic opponent, Jim Gray has also confirmed he will speak.

Also confirmed to speak are State Senator Stan Humphries, State Representative Richard Heath and his Democratic challenger Jesse Wright.

Wilson said surrogate speakers for all three presidential candidates have been invited to speak.

Candidates for all state-level offices -- including attorney general, auditor, secretary of state, treasurer, agriculture commissioner and lieutenant governor – have also been invited speak at the picnic.

This year's Fancy Farm Picnic is set for Saturday, Aug. 6. The political speaking starts at 2 pm.
