To celebrate Michigan's birthday last year, Pure Michigan put this video together, asking people what they think of our stellar state, check out the video below!

What's YOUR favorite thing about Michigan? I love pasties, Rock N' Rye, craft beer, the beaches along Lake Michigan, and using my hand to show everyone where I live!
