"The Melrose Chamber is thrilled to safely bring back two of our most popular signature events: the Summer Stroll and the Victorian Fair," Manning told Patch. "These events were terribly missed last year. It's very exciting to move forward and present these two wonderful opportunities to celebrate and patronize our local businesses, as a community.
