Hi kids & Candlepinner's everywhere, I’m Steve Renaud host & producer. Candlepin for Kids is hosted by cable access TV channel 13 in Southbridge, MA. I want to welcome you to another exciting season of candlepin bowling featuring the best youth bowlers throughout all New England. The show consists of three - 5 week ladders with 3 age divisions competing for numerous prizes and ultimately the season's championship teams. The champs receive savings bonds as well as beautiful championship jackets. Prizes are funded by the kids themselves as well as donations from different organizations, people and professional bowlers. Candlepin bowling has been part of New England history & heritage for over 100 years producing legends like Stasia Czernicki, Tommy Olszta & its most famous sports announcer Don Gillis of channel 5's Candlepin bowling show which aired for nearly 40 years. Candlepin's future is in the hands of all youth bowlers everywhere. They will determine if the game will last for another 100 years. Candlepin for Kids gives the youth of today the opportunity to experience head to head competitive bowling.

On behalf of Dan Shoebag Gauthier (co-host), Evan Mazzaferro (Cameraman), Cathy Renaud (prizes & set-up) and all the wonderful bowling centers that host the program we want to welcome you to our site and hope you all enjoy the show. If you’re ever in the neighborhood please stop by and visit a taping, the kids are something to see!

Thank you all from all of us here at CANDLEPIN FOR KIDS,,,,,,Steve Renaud
