" FANCY FARM, Ky. -- Candidates stumping at the next edition of the Fancy Farm Picnic will have a new rule to follow -- no profanity.

Picnic Chairman Mark Wilson said that anyone using profanity -- including four-letter words that sometimes pop up on television -- could be asked to stop their presentation.

The rule comes one year after Attorney General and U.S. Senate Candidate Jack Conway used a profanity to describe his toughness. Conway later apologized for the remark.

The picnic, sponsored by St. Jerome Catholic Church, is Aug. 7 on the Fancy Farm Elementary School grounds.

Conway has been invited back to speak as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. He will face Republican Rand Paul in November. Other confirmed speakers include U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo.
 
I know the pastor at St. Jerome, and he was NOT happy with Conway last year, to say the least.
