The Wood County Amateur Radio Association will host “Field Day 2026,” a nationwide amateur radio emergency preparedness exercise sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), on June 27–28 at the Mineola Nature Preserve, 4429 SH-564 Loop Mineola, TX
The event will begin at noon on Saturday, June 27, and continue for 24 continuous hours until 1:00 pm. on Sunday, June 28.
Field Day is the largest annual amateur radio event in the United States and serves as a real-world test of off-grid emergency communications capabilities. This year’s Field Day theme is “Amateur Radio: A National Resource.”
During the exercise, amateur radios and antennas will be temporarily set up powered independently from the electrical grid while we practice maintaining communications under emergency conditions. This provids us the opportunity to set up in public demonstrating ham radio's science, skill, and service to our communities and our nation.
The event is designed to prepare operators and to test preparations of operators and equipment to assist during disasters and emergencies when traditional communication systems may be unavailable due to severe weather, power outages, or other emergencies.
The public is invited to attend free of charge throughout the event. Community members will have the opportunity to observe live radio operations, learn about emergency communications, and discover how to become involved in amateur radio. In addition, the public will be invited to try their hand at having a long distance radio communication during the event.
We encourage everyone with an interest in technology, emergency preparedness, public service, or communications to stop by and learn more about the hobby and its role in supporting communities during emergencies.

To help protect sanitation workers during the hottest months of the year, Republic Services will begin residential trash collection routes one hour earlier as part of its annual "100 Days of Summer" safety initiative. Collection routes will start at 6:00 a.m. beginning June 1 and continuing through September 1, 2026.
This seasonal adjustment has been successfully implemented in previous years and helps reduce heat-related risks for drivers and helpers who work long hours in extreme Texas summer temperatures. The earlier start time will primarily affect homes located at the beginning of collection routes.
Residents are encouraged to place their trash carts at the curb the night before their scheduled pickup day to ensure timely service.
The City of Mineola appreciates Republic Services' commitment to the safety and well-being of its employees while continuing to provide reliable waste collection services to our community.
Key Dates:
Effective: June 1, 2026
Ends: September 1, 2026
New Collection Start Time: 6:00 a.m.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to support the health and safety of the crews serving our community.
