LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Barbecue and bingo are big draws, but politics are also on the menu at next weekend's Fancy Farm picnic in far western Kentucky. It will be the first showdown between Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Bruce

Lunsford and will let voters size up the adversaries side by side.

Organizers say they're still waiting word on whether they will get a visit from a presidential candidate. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend this year's picnic in Graves County that is a fundraiser for the local Catholic parish.

This year's master of ceremonies will be state House Majority Leader Rocky Adkins, who's a Democrat from Sandy Hook. Expected to join McConnell and Lunsford on stage will be other prominent officeholders or political candidates, including Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear and Republican Sen. Jim Bunning.
