JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JUNE 2, 2022 – The first Arcadia Valley Community Picnic will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 18. This event, a partnership between the Arcadia Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site, is a way for the community to kick off the summer with games, food and kids’ activities, as well as a horseshoe and bean bag toss tournament for both the adults and kids.
