We'll kick off with the Miss Melrose Coronation, reunion registration, school tours, live music by Melrose alumni in the downtown area and more.  Saturday will bring tons of family fun including the parade, fireworks, The Fabulous Armadillos (no cover!) and tons of fun. (Planning is still in the works!).
