MELROSE’s IRISH GREEN FROGS
By RoseA Curran Vestal

Irish green frogs come in all sizes in the Melrose Cedar Creek  and in our  countryside farm ponds surrounded by GREEN grassy hills and valleys.

But only the FINEST green frogs are invited to Melrose Main street each July! (sorry Charlie)

And everyone knows, only MELROSE green frogs grow especially big and can jump especially high. Why???

The SECRET: Melrose area FROGS are carefully fed and cared for by LEPRECHAUNS all year long.

Our Leprechauns have a new crop of frogs ready to be caught in time for our grand July 4^th Homecoming Celebration each year.

And legend has it that some of the very same frogs have returned year after year to celebrate this holiday, as they are released back to their ‘home pond or creek’ after the races are run & ribbons awarded.
