It’s that political time of the year in Kentucky – Fancy Farm. Where politicians go to stump and signal their policy positions, and others go to partake of mutton, pulled pork, and other picnic goodies.

We also got an update on the deadly flooding in Eastern Kentucky and heard more about how recovery and rescue are going.
