Mitten Mania is here. Remember the recent hoopla over whether the state of Wisconsin or Michigan better represents a mitten shape? After a few days of friendly wrangling, the travel offices of both states have agreed to devote their energy to helping others. Thorough Jan. 15, gently used or new mittens and gloves are accepted at the Real Racine Visitor Center, 14015 Washington Ave. (Highway 20.) Just drop them off between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. We'll donate the hand wear to local charities.
