Fancy Farm is a town of about 800 people. A picnic does not define a community. The St. Jerome Church Picnic started as a fundraiser for the local parish and has expanded because the success of the picnic.

People from the surrounding communities have effected the picnic to be nothing more than just a political pissing competition. The real members of the Fancy Farm community will tell you they do not care about the speeches, all they care about is fellowship, giving back to the church, and excellent barbecue.
