Racine
My grandma emigrated from Scotland, bringing this shortbread recipe with her. Three generations of our family have been raised in Racine. My 95-year-old mother still makes grandma’s shortbread every year for the holidays.
In 1912, Wisconsin Gas and Electric Co. began providing natural gas service to Racine . Today, we have about 20,000 miles of underground pipe that supplies customers with safe, reliable natural gas across Wisconsin.
