The Indiana Chamber’s fifth annual Coolest Thing Made IN Indiana tournament is in round four and two Elkhart companies are in the running.
Elkhart Brass Manufacturing and Polaris Marine are competing for a spot in the semi-finals.
“With each passing round, the competition for the honor of making the coolest thing in this great state just gets more intense,” said Vanessa Green Sinders, Indiana Chamber president and CEO, in a press release. “At this point, with the quality of this year’s field, it’s really cool versus cool. But in the end, there can only be one ultimate winner. I, for one, can’t wait to see who it’s going to be. And the way the votes are flying in, I’m not alone.”
