Yankee Candle going country

The Yankee Candle Co. of Deerfield said today that once again its product will be the official candle of the annual Country Music Association awards.

A Nashville ceremony sure to feature lots of steel guitars and scented wax, the 41st Annual CMA Awards is scheduled to air Nov. 7 in prime time on the ABC network, Yankee Candle said, and artists booked to perform include Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, and Martina McBride.

When it comes to scented candles, Yankee Candle says it's known for "classic fragrances such as Clean Cotton, Country Linen, Buttercream, Home Sweet Home, Harvest, and Macintosh."
