Some of my wildest memories as a journalist came from the historic Fancy Farm Picnic in West Kentucky. Held every year on the grounds of St. Jerome Catholic Church, it's become a major event launching the state's election thanks in no small part to scores of politicians who show up. It's now traditional to heckle and jeer any candidate bold enough to speak, making it feel like a combination of a political rally and a pro wrestling event. Mark Wilson, an organizer for the picnic, chats about its history and his own memories of putting the whole thing together. It's wild. It's crazy. It's Fancy Farm.
