Candles Glow as Cass Lake Couple Pioneers in Wax Craft
John and Peggy Bixenstine of Cass Lake turn candle making from hobby to business. They pour, color, and scent mold candles in a garage shop, producing hundreds to thousands of pounds of wax for gift shops and wholesalers. They explore exotic forms like sand and water candles while aiming to expand their Northern Lite Candle Company with nearly full scale operations and a $1,000 order on the horizon.
