FANCY FARM â With what organizers describe as âcautious optimism,â plans are being made to have the 141st St. Jerome Fancy Farm Picnic in its traditional entirety on Aug. 7, 2021.
The first Saturday in August is the annual date for the picnic, once dubbed the âlargest picnic in the worldâ by the Guinness Book of World Records, and which still attracts family of current and former residents from across the country to the small Graves County community. The event is perhaps more widely known for the lively political stump speeches given by local and state officials as well as some of the most powerful leaders in the nationâs capital.
