Michigan Basket
One of the unique things about this national is the auction baskets which have been contributed by the states, regions and countries. I believe there are 34 baskets on display. Some baskets are being sold via silent auction. There was voting held and the top 10 baskets are going to the big auction on Friday night. We don't know the results of the balloting yet, but so far the Michigan basket is still in the running for being included in the Friday night festivities. Quite a few baskets have already been sold. Some of them are incredible and even come with value added such as a trip to Colorado or live Maine lobsters which will be flown to your home. States also used some creative definitions of "basket", for instance Minnesota has a canoe with Samoyeds painted on it and Wisconsin used a dog crate. Our Michigan basket is a wooden box lined with a dog blanket. Here is a picture.
