Enjoy free family fun and Amateur Radio Field Days at the Wood County Historical Center & Museum on Saturday and Sunday, for Demonstration Days Weekend. The Historical Center is located at 13660 County Home Road in Bowling Green and both the event and museum offer free admission all weekend.
The Wood County Amateur Radio Club (WCARC) will hold its annual Field Day in the Boom Town area of the Historical Center grounds at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, and if weather permits, through the night until Sunday, June 23 at 2 p.m.
Every June, more than 40,000 Amateur (Ham) Radio operators throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate radio science, as well as their importance to our communities. Field Day is a nationwide exercise sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) as a means to practice emergency communication procedures using temporary antennas and emergency power. In the event of a disaster, hams are ready and able to set up communication facilities on short notice almost anywhere.
The Northwestern Ohio Tractor Pulling Association is the proud sponsor the 2019 Demonstration Days.
The museum will also be open from 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with free admission as part of the Demonstration Days festivities. All events detailed at woodcountyhistory.org or by following the Wood County Historical Museum on social media.
