MELROSE VARIETY SHOW
By RoseA Vestal

"Only in Melrose!" "You have to SEE it to believe it!" These are familiar comments we hear from folks who attend or become a part of the annual Melrose Variety Show.

This high energy, frantic paced, foot stomping Show treats the audience to a different act about every 2 l/2 minutes-presenting 30-35 acts in less than two hours.

Always held the last Saturday in January or the first Saturday in February, the Show promises to free show goers of those winter blahs & cabin fever and sprinkles the Luck of the Irish on the audience for one full year (till next year’s Show).

Area residents, former residents, alumnae, and friends of Melrose from far & near transform into STARS for a night that SHINE for Melrose to raise dollars for worthy community projects.

The Show features STARS of ALL ages and all walks of life-from babes to senior citizens, moms, dads, grandparents, farmers, teachers, nurses, business executives, priests, -you name it!

And it even surprises us what ANTICS, props, & costumes our stars pull off in grand hilarious style—showing folks how not to take themselves or life too seriously.
