Now is the time to sign up for the Volleyball Tournament, Cornhole Tournament, and the 4th of July Parade!

Any businesses or vendors planning to be open during Support Local Friday please text us your hours and any specials so we can help promote you!

Enjoy a DJ on Main Street, bring your chair, grab your favorite food and drinks to go, and help pack the streets with conversation and community connection before heading over to the Frog Jumping Contest, Community Picnic, Stars & Stripes Bingo, and the evening Baseball Game!

A Safety Reminder – We’re excited to see increased traffic and more visitors enjoying Mellen lately, but we’ve also noticed an increase in speeding throughout town. As we head into a busy holiday weekend, we ask everyone to do their part and SLOW DOWN.

Please:
• Use extra caution when driving through town
• Watch for pedestrians, especially in our Main Street and event areas
• Be extra cautious when pulling out of intersections
• Help keep our residents, visitors, and families safe

If you live in town or have friends and family you can park with, please consider doing so to help free up parking in some of our busiest areas throughout the weekend. Thank you for helping make this a safe and memorable celebration for everyone. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
