They made a slight error. License plates 1967-82 called Michigan a Water Winter Wonderland (water first) replacing the Water Wonderland nickname 1954-66.

• Bear State
• Land of Opportunity
• Natural State

I know the one for the city I was born in, and how we got it. we are quackers...

Back in the old days, every Easter they lowered a basket with a white dove in it from the church tower. One of those traditions... But one year they didn't have a white dove so they used a white duck. Guess what the duck did as it was getting lowered....

Nebraska: beef and corn and both are delicious.

Virginia: Old Dominion state I knew that one.
Mother of Presidents? I guess because it has the most presidents from it.

I wish we had better names lol. At least they didn’t have it as the state for lovers or something like that lol. I can’t stand the saying “Virginia is for Lovers” that drives me insane.
