LINCOLN — Four Nebraska-made products have advanced to the semifinals of the Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska competition following thousands of votes in round two.

They are:

  • Valley Center Pivot, Valley Irrigation – A Valmont Company, Valley
  • Barrel Aged Lord of Ord, Scratchtown Brewing Co., Ord
  • Toilet Paper, Outlook Nebraska, Omaha
  • Autonomous Feed Truck, ALA Engineering, Scottsbluff
  • Public voting for the top four products in the bracket-style competition is now open and runs through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6. Manufacturers, students and all Nebraskans are invited to vote for their favorite product manufactured in Nebraska each week at www.nemanufacturingalliance.com/

    Each voter is permitted one vote per match up, per round.

    The contest, hosted by the NE Manufacturing Alliance and powered by the NE Chamber, celebrates the state's thriving manufacturing industry with Nebraska residents, students, educators, community leaders, manufacturers and especially, the more than 100,000 Nebraskans working in manufacturing every day.

    The tournament leads Nebraskans into the annual celebration of NE Manufacturing Month this October. The Coolest Thing will be announced Oct. 29 at the NE Chamber's Manufacturing Summit in La Vista, where the top 16 finalists are invited to display their products.
