“Seeing 20,000 red, white and blue candles greeting the Olympic Torch
when it visited Boise was a spectacular sight and, according to the Olympic
Committee, set apart our celebration as one of the best in the nation.My only
regret is that we didn’t order 20,000 more candles.”
Tod McKay Boise Mayor’s Office Chair,
Olympic Torch Relay Committee
"Thank you for supplying the lovely candles for the Service of Remembrance
Prayer Breakfast in Orlando. I wish you could have been there, the atmosphere
at the end of the program with the candles was absolutely awesome."

appreciated your service."

"We would like to take the time to thank the entire Newville team for
the great work you did. The nature of our celebration requires, on many occasions,
that the work be done on very short notice. You came through with flying colors!
Our partnership is not one to be taken lightly and together we help bring our
community to life!"
Guy Noel
Festival du Voyageur
"The candles were a huge success! We hope this will become an annual event
here and give other communities a new way to express togetherness. Our order
was taken in a friendly manner and shipped very quickly to us and received in
excellent condition. Thank you for the great service."

"The most romantic night in our town is the Victorian Candlelight Stroll.
Christmas music fills the air and by the time the clocktower strikes seven,
the townsfolk and all their visitors join the choir at the courthouse stairs.
One by one the candles are lit from stranger to stranger, from loved one to
loved one. And the chorus of ‘Alleluia’ sends a tingle up your spine
and brings a tear to the eye."
Trisha Romance
Niagara-on-the-Lake
"We have a Christmas Eve candle light service every year. This year we
ordered Celebration Candles from Newville. We were all very pleased with the
quality of your product. The candles melted slowly and didn’t drip. They
worked great! Thank you very much. We look forward to using your products for
many years to come."
First Presbyterian Church
Mt. Pleasant, Texas
"Thank you for the Celebration Candles. They worked great! They were much
safer to use than the little paper ones we used previously and the cups gave
an additional effect when all the lights were turned out. No one got hot wax
on them and our pews were saved from wax as well. The candles were greatly appreciated
and they will be used again and again!"
East Shore Baptist Church
Harrisburg, PA
"2003 marks the 14th year that the Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce
will present its Victorian Candlelight Stroll. The event has grown to attract
approximately 10,000 people, all of whom join the guided stroll through our Heritage
District carrying Celebration Candles.
Candles are sold from six different booths located in a two block area of our
Heritage District, at a cost of $2 each. Over 100 volunteers participate in
the event, with candle-sellers, people directing traffic and others participating
in the choirs. 14 choirs and musical groups participate, spread out along the
stroll route, and provide one and a half hours of entertainment for our guests.
Proceeds from the Candlelight Stroll remain in the community. In 2002, the
funds were donated to the community swimming pool, for installation of a handicapped
lift that will allow residents of all ages and abilities to use the pool.
The assistance from Newville Candles in getting the event established has been
strong from day one and co-operation continues to be extensive, 14 years later.
We are proud to be associated with a company that demonstrates such strong community
spirit."

Executive Director, Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce
