Marshfield Item Part of Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin Contest

Thursday, September 16th, 2021 -- 9:17 AM

Each year, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce and Johnson Financial Group partner to determine the Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin and one of those items is made right in Marshfield.

The competition aims to highlight the state’s vibrant manufacturing industry. The contest not only brings attention to all the cool things made in Wisconsin, but also the outstanding career opportunities available in manufacturing, an industry that employs 1 in 6 people in the state.

WMC and Johnson Financial Group have partnered together for this contest since 2016, and Wisconsinites have cast over 775,000 votes since its inception. Last year alone, roughly 150 products were nominated and over 125,000 votes were cast to determine the Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin.

Products have ranged from motorcycles, military vehicles, cheese products, boats, generators, food carts, iron castings, beer, all-terrain vehicles, snow blowers and much, much more.

After products are nominated, they compete in a popular vote that sets the field for Manufacturing Madness. In this tournament-style bracket, the Top 16 Wisconsin-made products compete in head-to-head matchups to win the ultimate prize, being named the Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin.

The winner is announced each year during Manufacturing Month in October. From now to September 21st, people can participate in the popular vote round. On September 22nd, the top 16 will be announced.

From September, 23rd-September 28th, there will be the 1st round of bracket voting. On September 29th, the top 8 will be announced. From September 30th-October 5th will be the 2nd round of bracket voting.

On October 6th, the top 4 will be announced. From October 7th-October 14th will be the final round of voting. On October 14th, they will announce the winner at Business Day in Pewaukee.

The Jalapeno Cheddar Beef Sticks from Wenzel Farm in Marshfield is one of the items being considered. If you’d like to do so, you can vote online: https://www.madeinwis.com/contest/?contest-gallery-order=alpha-up
