2The Dally Tar HeelWednesday, September 2, 1987 ft By MATT CIVENS StattWriter Four of the seven Democratic presidential contenders will chow down on traditional North Carolina fare and meet the masses Sept. 12 when N.C. Democrats gather at a picnic of epic proportions at Market Square in High Point. "WeYe winners, and we want to celebrate the fact," said Kiki Teague, coordinator of Funfair, a day designed to draw Democrats and presidential candidates together for food and forums. Former Arizona Gov. Bruce Bab bit, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt and Tennesse Sen. Albert Gore are expected to attend the event, 'said Teague. "We're expecting the largest crowd the Democratic Party has ever assembled," she said. Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden and Rev. Jesse Jackson remain undecided about attending Funfair, and Illinois Sen. Paul Simon has declined because his daughter's wedding will conflict with the event, Teague said. Teague said she isn't certain what Funfair, the brainchild of Sen. Terry Sanford, D-N.G, will cost the Demo cratic Party. "This is not a fund raiser, it's a fun raiser," she said. "We're trying our darndest just to break even. The profits are the fun we will have and the education we will get. I don't even want to think about it (the cost). But what we don't have in money we have in people." Among the scheduled events are a basketball clinic, flea market, games for children, Indian dancers, and local entertainment, including coun trywestern singer George Hamilton IV of Winston-Salem and folk singer Mike Cross of Chapel Hill. Also on the agenda is a public question-and-answer session for the candidates, to be moderated by PBS commentator Haddon Carter, and the premiere of a film on the history of the N.C. Democratic party, Teague said. "It (the film) re-emphasizes the fact that we need to be proud to be Democrats," Teague said. Food for the event will be obtained mostly from the local area, she said. Tickets for the event are $2 and can be bought at the door or picked up in advance from N.C. Democratic Party county chairmen, the county Democratic Headquarters, or the state Democratic Headquarters, Teague said. Buses stopping in several counties will be provided by Funfair organ izers for easier access to the fair.
