Fancy Farm Picnic organizers announced Wednesday that Father Jim Sichko will be the emcee for the 144th annual Graves County event.
Sichko is a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky, and preaches and gives motivational speeches internationally.
The Fancy Farm Picnic usually has a rotation of emcees, including Democrats, Republicans and neutral speakers.
The picnic, which serves both as a fundraiser for the St. Jerome Catholic Church and the unofficial kickoff to Kentucky’s fall campaign season, will take place on August 3.
