But I'm sure you still see a lot of people from out of state who want to come in and experience this fall color tour, Kelly.
2:55
Oh, absolutely.
2:56
You know, there's no doubt Michigan has the best fall color in the US, I would say even better than New England.
3:02
And that's why people are traveling to our two-peninsula state in the fall because there's those u- the unique color that we have and the beauty of the 3,000-mile coastline we have throughout the state.
3:14
There's nothing more beautiful than being along the lake and seeing the fall color.
3:18
But also, the cider mills.
3:20
We're the second largest producer of apples in the US.
6:07
What else do you wanna tell us about fall, though? Let's not get ahead of ourselves and, and worry about winter, but, uh, s- again, so much to do here in our state, Kelly.

It's a true era, as Taylor Swift might say, isn't it?
4:29
It sure is.
4:31
As you mentioned, 20 years ago, Pure Michigan welcomed the world to come share in our sense of wonder and our incredible Two Peninsula estate.
4:40
And today, it's one of the most recognized tourism brands and continues to win major awards.
4:46
Last year, it was added to the Fast Company Brands That Matter list, which is incredible.
4:52
We don't work day in and day out to get awards.
4:54
We work to inspire visitation and visitor spending to the state.
5:55
And so the word pure comes to mind and that can be used in lots of different ways.
