@ellsworthcandlepinalley: Thanks guys ❤️

comeyfam :

I’m in Maine and we used to have two local Candlepin allies and sadly they’re both closed. I’m so excited for you and your taking on this project and preserving Candlepin Bowling!

Scott :

stay strong ❤️❤️❤️

Mike :

If you live near the Old Town Maine area. Come check out Old Town Bowling Center. I work part-time there and its also a retro bowling alley and candlepin. Thank you Autumn for spending the word about Candlepin Bowling. I will come check out your shop with my family soon.

Not near NE any longer - but as a kid I was in a Candlepin league. Loved it - had my own engraved Candlepin balls and of course shoes. Best of luck!!

bigfanofitall :

I will come at and work for free. I’ve always wanted to work in a bowling alley.

DMMeYourSafeHand :

It’s crazy to see how much you’ve done. Good luck!

lathamgreen :

I want blueberry muffins

Bruh :

I’ve been wanting to drive out to Maine from MN for a fall foliage trip, hopefully next year. You’ll be a stop along the way!

That is the first alley I ever bowled Candlepin in, about 17 years ago. Had no idea what it was, it was frustrating and I was ticked off 😂. Well because I was a 10 pin bowler and thought I should do better. 16 months ago, I ran across some Candlepin streamers. I've watched, learned and actually enjoy the sport. I was just in Maine (from Va) to see the Womens International. I really wanted to swing by to see your pkace but just not in the cards. I did bowl several games and I will say I am proud of my 75 average. Can't wait to get back up and also to see the CBS special. Keep up the good work.

Christine for Common Sense :

We don’t have candlepins here in Connecticut, I did bowl both a duckpin and 10 pin league at independently own centers

NE1469 :

I saw this video and turned CBS in just in time to catch the last 2 minutes of the segment. Very cool!

Stephen Connolly :

candlepin bowling is indy blood. I used to bowl under fenway park in Boston

qualuud :

Just watched and loved your segment on CBS Sunday Morning!!!❤️I was so moved and inspired by your story. I live in Texas so I can’t stop by but I wanted to tell you how awesome you are. Great job Autumn!!👏🏾👏🏾

Steve Dbad :

Wild that this showed on my FYP. From WI and we were in Ellsworth, visiting Acadia back in June. I have seen candlepin bowling, but have not tried it. Wishing you the absolute best. Your venture is the definition of “jumping into the deep end” and you seem to be excelling. Love that you learned the mechanical aspect of the pin setters and ball returns. Absolute respect!

Shannon Martin :

We visited two days ago! It was so much fun, everyone was so friendly and the hand cut fries were so good!

bodacious :

im coming in 2 weeks!:)

QdHandyman :

I’m an old man from Texas. I love all things mechanical and the fact that you are making those vintage machines work impressed me to no end. I’m very proud of you and I’m happy to share your page. 💪💪👍👍🇺🇸🫡

Lars :

I love candlepin and bowled a 105 high today. do you have merch?

Pegasus :

I am in Bangor and I had no idea there was a historical bowling alley in Ellsworth. Best wishes!

Kelly :

Your very very welcome!

John Shaner :

I wish there was Candlepin bowling here in Jacksonville, FL. Bless you and your fiancée.

jamesjaskulski0305 :

I wish that I lived in your area... Because I would love to volunteer, if possible, I believe that I would enjoy helping you out there!

David :

Folks in the Boston area: Check out Sacco’s Bowl Haven in Davis Sq, Somerville.

TerryKoz :

I’ve been following various candlepin accounts for a couple of years now and one of my vacation plans is a candlepin roadtrip through New England.
