Carlie Schuring, 16, from left, Michael Mahoney, 17, and Dylan Edminster, 16, affix labels to handmade holiday-scented candles made during their Job Skills class at Huntley High School on Thursday, Nov. 15, 2018 in Huntley. The popularity of the candles at the monthly Huntley farmers market prompted a broader sale base, and now will be available at some craft fairs. The candles sell for $4 with the money raised used for purchasing more supplies to continue production as well as supplementing the cost of field trips to local businesses and other hands-on learning experiences. Some of the scents available include Egg Nog, Christmas Tree, Gingerbread, Winter Pine, Sugar Cookie, Fireside, and Cranberry, but a handful of autumn scents remain available too. The next opportunity to purchase candles to benefit the special education classes is at Leggee Elementary's 8th annual Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday, Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Leggee Elementary School, 13723 Harmony Road in Huntley. Admission is free with a non-perishable food donation to the Grafton Food Pantry.
