Struthers mayor unveils 2026 calendar and lists community events, fundraisers and city services updates
Summary
Mayor Miller reviewed the 2026 city calendar, announced community events including a Jan. 31 boxing night and a late-January Winter Field Day, explained historical society dues changes, and reminded residents about a county-sponsored Christmas tree recycling program through Jan. 31.
Mayor Miller outlined the city's 2026 calendar and a series of upcoming community events and service reminders during the Struthers City Council caucus.
The mayor said the city posted the 2026 calendar to social media and is piloting a new newsletter that will begin in the next few weeks; residents and organizations with flyers were asked to submit them for possible inclusion. She announced a Palone and Burnside boxing night, USA vs. Britain, scheduled for Jan. 31 at the Struthersfield House, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the first bout at 7 p.m.; general admission tickets were announced as $30, and table pricing in the transcript was unclear.
The mayor also announced a Winter Field Day at Grimnebo Field on Haywood for late January and described it as an amateur radio event promoting emergency-communications readiness and technical skills; the transcript lists conflicting dates for that event. She said the historical society, in its 48th year, has increased membership dues to $25 for a single member and $30 for a family and reported repairs to the museum building including a new roof and porch floor.
Officials promoted the annual military banner fundraiser known as Denise's Project (named after past vice president Denise Collingwood). The mayor said families may request a banner to be hung from Memorial Day through Veterans Day; the transcript lists a three-year banner fee of $200 and a renewal letter after three years for $50. She also noted Mahoning County's Christmas tree recycling program, run with the county green team and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, with curbside pickup through Jan. 31 and asked residents to remove lights and decorations before placing trees at the curb.
Registration reminders included spring baseball and softball sign-ups (registration live at struttlersllb.com, deadline Feb. 14, with a late fee for registrations after that date) and the Samoan Valley chili cook-off on Jan. 24. The mayor closed by asking residents to submit event information to city staff so events can be shared in the newsletter.
The mayor's account contained several specific dates and prices; where the transcript contained conflicting or unclear information (for example, the Winter Field Day dates and a table price for the boxing night), the council record did not provide a definitive clarification during the caucus.
