“Coolest Thing Made In Wisconsin” Contest Down To Final Eight

Eight products are in a contest to name the “Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin.” The state’s Manufacturers and Commerce group is holding the event, in which 150 products were nominated and online voters chose the Top 16 that were placed in tournament style brackets — and voters can now choose the final four until late Friday night. Uncle Mike’s Bake Shoppe of Green Bay has a sea salt caramel pecan kringle competing against the Oshkosh Corporation’s light tactical vehicle. Mercury Marine’s joystick piloting system opposes the Kraft Heinz Philly cream cheese — the X-C Generator from Generac (jen’-er-ak) Power Systems competes against Sargento Cheese’ Balanced Breakes — and the Ariens Sno Thro is up against Trane’s CenTraVac Water Cooler Chiller. The online voting is at MadeInWis Dot Com, and the “Coolest Thing Made In Wisconsin” will be announced October 16th.
