Fancy Farm Picnic, 1998

U.S. Rep. Scotty Baesler, D-Lexington, held a pair of shoes that belonged to retiring U.S. Sen. Wendell Ford that he said he intended to fill if he won Ford’s seat. Baesler, speaking at the Fancy Farm picnic in western Kentucky on Aug. 1, 1998, was running against fellow U.S. Rep. Jim Bunning, R-Fort Henry. Bunning narrowly defeated Baesler in the general election. Photo by Frank Anderson | Staff
