Updated: The Only State That's Shaped Like a Mitten

All four are now spoken for, assuming Katy sends in her address. But feel free to share your cool-or-weird Michigan vacation dreams in the comments!

So, now that I finally mailed packages out to the winners of the last contest, it must be time for another.

We have four copies of the CD A Curious Glimpse of Michigan. And how can you win one? Just send an e-mail (show AT sparetherock DOT com) describing what your ideal vacation in Michigan would be. Checking out the dunes along the lake? Terrific! Watching the Michigan Wolverines football team choke? Awesome. Following in the footstapes of Michael Moore in Roger and Me? A little depressing, but dandy. Gerald Ford themed? Just plain weird.

First four get 'em. Please include your mailing address and a promise to be patient if it's April by the time I mail them. I'll post them here (not the addresses).

Winner Number 1: Sam writes: "On a trip to Michigan, I would have to see if other Great Lakes are surfable, a la Step Into Liquid. And doing a tour based on the events in Sufjan Stevens' Greetings from Michigan sounds kind of fun, too."

Winner Number 2: Friend-of-the-Show Lisa writes: "The Harper family would tour Detroit with stops at the Motown Historical Museum for Monty, Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory at Belle Isle for Lisa, and the Detroit Zoo for Evalyn!"

Winner Number 3: Katy L (who needs to e-mail me her address) says: So, if we were going on a trip to Michigan, I think we'd have to take in the World's Former Largest Cherry Pie Pan in Charlevoix (the one 50 miles away in Traverse City, though much bigger, only copied the idea from the folks in Charlevoix). Then we would make our way to Kalamazoo and, late at night, try to see if the kudus really do fly red balloons there (see Jack Prelutsky's great book of kid's poems, "Ride a Purple Pelican"). And finally, we'd end up at the Motown Museum in Detroit because, well, it's Mecca for music-lovers!

Winner Number 4: Ginger says, perhaps channelling Smoove B at the end: "I would take my family to the University of Michigan at the LEAFIEST time of year (Octoberish, maybe) and we would run all over the University of Michigan and tromp through all those leaves leaves leaves! It would be a leaf-tromping vacation. And we would all buy big wooly University of Michigan scarves. And no, I didn't go to the University of Michigan, but I've always imagined it to the collegeyest of colleges and when you go to places like that that are also cold, you should get yourself and your whole family a scarf. Then we would drink some hot chocolate.
