What makes your business unique? After winning back-to-back-toback “Best Beer List” in 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Franksville Craft Beer Garden knew it had to go for the four-peat in 2023. As the “Craft Beer Capital of Racine County,” the FCBG has over 160 beers on tap annually, including more than 30 different beers each weekend. Happy Hour at the Franksville Craft Beer Garden is the time of day that everyone heads to their favorite place to gather after work and begin their activities for the evening
or weekend. For the FCBG, it’s not about discounted drinks or giveaways but rather providing an atmosphere that people enjoy. In fact, the FCBG doesn’t even offer any typical “Happy Hour” deals but it’s still the top after work stop for many in the community. What does community mean to you? We keep the community in mind with everything we do ... including selecting what beers we serve. We try to offer a vast selection so that the community can gather and enjoy time, drinks and food together.

What makes your business unique? The Franksville Craft Beer Garden continues to pride itself on its free entertainment lineup, especially after being named “Best Free Entertainment” in 2021 and 2022. In addition to its well-known Friday and Saturday Live Music Series presented by Real Racine, the FCBG has worked to improve
other programming this past season. The Live Music Stage at the Franksville Craft Beer Garden might be small, but it provides some of the best live music anywhere. The lineup of musicians is filled with everything from local greats to musicians regularly found at venues such as State Fair and Summerfest. The FCBG’s reputation of always having a great crowd helps attract artists who want to put the FCBG on their schedules every season.
What does community mean to you? “We work extremely hard to take input from the FCBG community, event partners, musicians and others to make sure we are providing the best entertainment possible,” Co-Owner Molly Michel said. The FCBG plans to keep adding to and improving its entertainment lineup and, more importantly, keep it free for the community to enjoy.

2131 N Main St • Racine • (262) 636-9189 • racinezoo.com Racine Zoo was selected as the best nonprofit. This award comes as the zoo is celebrating its 100th anniversary in Racine. Initially established in the area Racine residents today know as Island Park, the zoo now sits along Lake Michigan, north of Downtown Racine. Racine Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which indicates a standard of animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education and safety. “The mission of the 100-year-old zoo is to foster an enlightening and affordable wildlife experience that improves the bond between people and nature,” Kristen Humphrey, marketing and public relations manager
for Racine Zoo, said. The zoo is home to a variety of animals big and small, including endangered wildlife. Visitors can look forward to seeing lions and giraffes, penguins, a variety of snakes, and primates including an orangutan and spider monkeys. Racine Zoo programming includes an emphasis on wildlife and conservation education for guests of all ages. Racine residents also look forward to annual community events at the zoo, including Eggstravaganza, Boo at the Zoo, and the summer Animal Crackers Concert Series. “The zoo is a place of connection and a place that is welcoming to everyone,” Humphrey said.

What makes your business unique?
What does community mean to you?
We have deep roots in our community and extensive knowledge and experience in all things real estate -- and put an emphasis on exceptional customer service. We provide a boutique approach to our clients which allows us to personalize every step of the home sale process. We understand that selling or buying a home is a significant decision and we provide our clients with the best tools and marketing strategies to protect and enhance their investments. By engaging with our team, our clients get all the attention of a single agent with the benefit of being backed and marketed by an entire team. Our strategies, personalized attention and local knowledge paired with our experienced agents has resulted in being one of the top producing teams not only in Racine County but also in all southeast Wisconsin.
Community is especially important to us. It is the heart and soul of our business. Community is our neighborhoods, our schools, our neighbors, our businesses, our churches, our clubs and our clients. When we think of the essence of community, we think of helping others. We are fortunate to be able to help people daily through our work, but we are also fortunate to be able to help people in other ways. Christmas toy drives, charity events, habitat for humanity, sponsoring youth sports teams and other opportunities provide us the ability to help others in in an impactful way. Community is also about being a connector. Having all been born and raised in the area, our connections with local industry contacts such as contractors, lenders, title companies, local government officials and attorneys, allows us to connect our community with our clients ensuring the best experience possible for everyone we work with.

EMILY CORR - FIRST WEBER REALTORS
10351 Washington Ave #800 • Sturtevant • (262) 930-3687 • emilycorr.firstweber.com What makes your business unique? The goal of my business is to take no shortcuts when serving my clients. When I work with a buyer, I sit down with them and hear all of their wants, needs and desires. I am constantly immersed in our local real estate market. I know every house that hits the market and study all of the closed listings, daily. This allows me to maintain a sharp expertise in our area. When I list a home, it is my goal to take a large amount of stress off the seller. I provide them with everything they need to get as much money as possible for their home while also feeling the constant support of an expert agent. I have a phenomenal real estate photographer, stager, cleaning team, marketing manager and transaction coordinator. Every single one of these people play a role in maintaining a streamlined/smooth process for my clients. And, it costs nothing extra for them. It is a part of what I offer as
an agent and I believe these things are what set me apart.
What does community mean to you? I have a deep appreciation for our community. I was born and raised in Racine. When I was an undergrad student at UW-Madison, I didn’t necessarily have plans to move back, but I often think about how grateful I am that life led me back here. I have deep relationships with so many wonderful people in our community. I have lifelong friends that still live here. My parents and inlaws live in town. My husband is a lieutenant with the Racine Fire Department and we consider all of them an extension of our family. Before I became a Realtor, I was a teacher in RUSD and built so many relationships with fellow educators and families. We are blessed to live in Racine, we are proud of our community and we are deeply dedicated to the area.

People have made the FCBG their favorite gathering place and because of that, it maintains the heartbeat of the community.

Blue Dove is unique in many ways but what sets us apart is our dedication to customer service combined with our wide array of services.
What makes your business unique? We are truly honored to be recognized. Since opening our doors in 2013, Honest Touch Wellness Spa has been dedicated to providing a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation for our valued clients. Over the years, we’ve evolved and expanded our services, from offering massages to a wide array of treatments, including skin treatments, reflexology, lash services and the soothing experience of our infrared saunas. As an esthetician, I believe in progressive not aggressive when it comes to any treatment I perform. In my personalized skin treatments I work with Dermalogica Professional products. One of the many reasons I love Dermalogica is because of the wide variety of products they offer for basically every skin concern. They also offer a ton of continuing education for their professional skin therapists. In my treatment room we listen to your skin and make your skin health the top priority. Each treatment looks different for every client because not everyone’s skin is the same, and thankfully I work with a brand that offers products that can be customized during a treatment.
You can go to many great places in the Racine area to receive hair services, massages, facials, waxings and more.

I come from a small town and I’ve seen our community come together so many times to help friends, friends of friends, families and even other businesses. I think it’s comforting to see our community helping others. I also love our little “community” at Blue Dove. It’s so important to find a work home that you love going to work at and with coworkers who are kind

What makes me the best massage therapist is that I take my time with my clients. I create an individual session that is tailored to them and their unique needs. I form long-lasting relationships with my clients and ensure that they are comfortable with me and their session plan. I’m truly there to help them with their pain, stress or general relaxation. Sometimes it’s difficult for guests to open up about their daily stress or their pain and I encourage an environment that fosters a feeling of trust and safety.
