Three Trails Day in Hickman Mills

Three Trails Day, a free, community-wide celebration sponsored by the Hickman Mills C-1 School District, will be Saturday, Aug. 7 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Hickman Mills Junior High School, 9010 Old Santa Fe Road. The event follows the district’s annual Back-to-School Parade and Rally, beginning at 11 a.m. The Rally will be held in the gymnasium of the junior high. 

The event will feature carnival rides, craft booths, pony rides, and dozens of other activities. There will also be a free child identification screening sponsored by the Missouri Masonic Children’s Foundation and the Hickman Mills School District. The Missouri Child Identification Program (MOCHIP) is designed to protect against the problem of missing and abducted children. Each parent/guardian will receive a CD containing digital photographs, fingerprints and emergency contact information for their child.

Three Trails Day is named after the three trails (Oregon, California and Santa Fe) that led to the westward expansion of the United States. All three run through the Hickman Mills C-1 School District. This event is funded by the city’s Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund.

Three Trails Day is free and open to the public.
