FANCY FARM, Ky. — Organizers for the 144th Fancy Farm Picnic announced former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron would stump on behalf of former President Donald Trump’s campaign at this year’s event.

Cameron is no stranger to Fancy Farm’s “political speaking” tradition as he squared off at last year’s picnic against Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., who he was challenging as the Republican candidate for governor.

Organizer previously said they were attempting to secure speakers for both the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns for the 2024 Fancy Farm Picnic.

Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, D-Ky., will not be attending the picnic this year, in a lineup that is dominated by Republicans. The only two Democrats listed as “confirmed” are Erin Marshall, who is challenging Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., to represent Kentucky’s First District in Congress, and state Rep. Cherlynn Stevenson, who will speak on a proposed “school choice” amendment.

Comer is also confirmed to speak at the event. He will be flanked by fellow Republicans that include: Attorney General Russell Coleman, Secretary of State Michael Adams, Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell, Treasurer Mark Metcalf, state Sen. Jason Howell, state Rep. Richard Heath and Kim Holloway, who is running unopposed for state representative in this November’s election. State Rep. Suzanne Miles will round out the partisan speaker lineup, speaking for Republicans on the “school choice” amendment.

Two nonpartisan speakers are also confirmed: Lisa Payne Jones and Jason Shea Fleming, who are both running in a special general election for the Kentucky Court of Appeals.

Republican Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are listed as “pending” for the event. Allison Ball, R-Ky., was previously slated to come but will not attend.

The political speaking will be emceed by renowned Lexington priest Father Jim Sichko. This year’s bipartisan barbecue will be Aug. 3, 2024 at the St. Jerome Catholic Church in Graves County.
