Order Deadline for Wawa's 6th Ice Candle Celebration Day, But Event Delayed

Time is running out for those hoping to participate in Wawa's sixth annual Ice Candle Celebration Day - though when the event will be held is now up in the air.

While the annual fundraiser was scheduled to be held December 29th, the Wawa Cemetery Committee's announced that is being delayed to January 18th due to expected mild weather ahead of that date, which is detrimental to the making and storing of the ice candles, though today remains the deadline to order ice candles for the event.

Committee vice chair Claude Samson notes it's easy to participate.
