Unique and Delightful Local Candles Made in NH
You may have missed Ross Mingarelli’s CandleTree Soy Candles in Concord – it’s only 84 square feet
May 19, 2021
Smelling a crayon can take you back to your childhood. Ross Mingarelli of CandleTree Soy Candles puts wicks in scented wax to take you wherever you want to go. Mixing a pinch of this, a thimbleful of that into his secret candle potions, he works in a space the size of a Hobbit’s closet on Concord’s Main Street, yet displays upward of 1,000 candles at a time. Wild blueberry, fresh tangerine, buttered popcorn even dill pickle and beef jerky. So flick a Bic, spin up some light jazz, and just kick back to dancing lights and simmering scents. Choose your pleasure, inhale and enjoy. Ah, the good life, illuminated.

Howard Pearl is staying busy. He owns and works a 300-acre, fourth-generation farm in Loudon. Ten thousand maples are tapped and summer crops abound. Then there are the civic duties: treasurer for the New Hampshire Farm Bureau and state representative for Merrimack 26. This year, Pearl takes charge as Loudon town moderator; his gavel will set the beat for the 2021 town meeting. So here’s to Mr. Pearl, farmer statesman, a living echo of our country’s New England origins. Grateful, we tip a dark brew from a pewter mug alongside the ghosts of another era.

It’s foggy out and well past your bedtime. Heading home, the engine starts making this odd, chattering sound. Then,
bang, no power and a silent drift off to the shoulder and the dirt. Cars fly past your door at Mach 5, inches from your body. You make the call. Meet Kait Bailey of Bailey’s Towing in Merrimack. She’s the one who pulled up behind you with all those flashing lights on her rolling roadblock. She’s the one who reassured you as she wrestled chains, hooks and levers. She’s the one who got you safely out of there. You’ll deal with the car tomorrow. Right now, you’re home, intact and grateful.
