Candice Kelly is the weekday news anchor at 5:00, 5:30 6:00 & 11:00 pm on WBRE Eyewitness News.

She's no stranger to Northeast PA. Candice first came to the area in 2004 as the weekend Anchor/reporter for WBRE News. But in September 2006, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a part of the area's only interactive newscast.  She worked for sister station WYOU for nearly two years before returning to WBRE.

Candice got her start in television news after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications from Mankato State University. She first worked behind the scenes at KARE-TV in Minneapolis, MN and then made the switch in front of the camera at KTTC-TV in Rochester, MN. While there, she was a reporter, and an anchor/producer for the morning and noon newscasts. Not only does she bring nearly 10 years of television news experience to the area, she's also a two-time regional Emmy Award winner.

Candice is a huge animal lover and enjoys working with animal shelters and humane societies. She's also an advocate for HIV/AIDS and cancer research.

As a Minnesota native, it was a big deal for her to pick up and move so far away from her family and friends. But she doesn't regret it because this is where she met her husband Tom. Northeast Pennsylvania is now her home. It's a place she proudly shares with Tom, their two German shepherds, Kyser and Ember, and their best buddy Chester the cat, who Candice rescued and adopted off the streets of Rochester, MN.
