密歇根新闻广播 每个密歇根人都该去体验一次的70件事

We asked you on Facebook. We went outside the studio (*gasp*) and asked people in the street. You tweeted us on Twitter. You told us 70 experiences every Michigander should have at least once.

These are in no particular order...except to note Sleeping Bear Dunes² was, hands down, the most popular response.

Followed by "hunting for Petoskey stones."

Social Media Producer Kimberly Springer spoke³ with Cynthia Canty about the experiences, places and events you're most excited about in our state.

And don't get us wrong: there was a lot of grousing⁴ about potholes⁵ and MiDAS -- maybe rightfully so -- but we figure everyone needs a break. Time to stop and have just a little bit of gratitude⁶ for the positive things we see happening in communities around the state as we report the news and cultural happenings in Michigan.

So get out your pen/stylus, check off the things you've done, and find some new experiences to have in our state.
