Who or Whom...

Should it be:

The village fair attracts lot of farmers, many of whom want to just have a nice time.

OR

The village fair attracts lot of farmers, many of who want to just have a nice time.

I would think 'who' is more appropriate usage, since a subject pronoun should be used. Can someone please confirm.

Thanks.

Hi Anon: "of whom" is a prepositional phrase. Object case (whom) is used here. The subject is "many".
