Lansing Taxidermist Recreates Michigan/Michigan State Rivalry

Nick Saade, a professional taxidermist (and fellow WITL listener) has gone national with a story about his Michigan State/Michigan football piece starring stuffed chipmunks.

Nick owns Taxidermy by Nick Saade (yes, that's my voice on the radio commercial on his website). According to the story and video from the Lansing State Journal, Nick had people bring him chipmunks they had trapped in their cabins up north. After he got enough, he dressed them in tiny uniforms and had his chipmunk MSU/U of M chipmunk football game. If you'd like to buy it, Nick will let it go for $1500. That's cheap for something that clearly belongs in the Smithsonian.

Since the State Journal did the story, it's been picked up nationally by Fox Sports and U.S. News and World Report, among others. Nicely done, Nick

Here's the story and video.
