Assault on Mount Hood 2011

See you at the Fair!

This Sunday September 11th is the annual Victorian Day celebration in Melrose sponsored by theMelrose Chamber of Commerce.  This year the fair falls on the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks and is dedicated to Raymond Rocha, a Melrose resident who died at the World Trade Center.

Melrose businesses and organizations have been busy preparing their exhibits and assembling their raffle items. Dance troops, musical groups and other performers have been fine-tuning their demonstrations for the main stage. The chamber office is abuzz with activity to make this the best Victorian Day to date!

The day-long celebration kicks off with the 17th annual Marathon Sports EMARC Victorian Day 5krun and walk at 10 am.  Not ready to take on the 3.1 miles as a registered runner or walker? Come on down and cheer on our athletes.  You may just leave inspired with a new goal set for next September!

Reserve this Sunday for family fun on Main Street and join others from Melrose and the surrounding communities in celebrating our dynamic city!

I look forward to being at the Melrose Boot Camp table for my second year.  Please come by and say hello. See you there!

Lewy Body Dementia affects over 1.3 million Americans and is the second leading cause of degenerative dementia in the elderly. The clinical name, “dementia with Lewy bodies” (DLB), accounts for up to 20% of all dementia cases, or 800,000 patients in the US. Over 50% of Parkinson’s disease patients develop “Parkinson’s disease dementia” (PDD), which accounts for at least 750,000 patients. (PDD is also a Lewy Body dementia.)

On Saturday October 15, 2011 at 10:00 am, we’ll give this disease a voice, and for one day, we’ll run or walk for good health and lasting memories.

Join us on race day to fight Lewy Body Dementia and support research to one day find a cure!
