Vote now!

INDIANAPOLIS – Harpsicle Harps has made it to the finals.

The Rising Sun business that makes handcrafted instruments is up against Hard Truth Whiskey Co. of Nashville in the championship of Coolest Thing Made IN Indiana Tournament.

This year’s tournament started with a record-high field of 90 competitors, as organizations from across the state fought it out to determine who has the “Coolest” Hoosier-made product. The final round features tournament veteran and last year’s runner-up, Hard Truth, and newcomer Harpsicle Harps, which has taken the tournament by storm this year with several convincing victories.

Championship round voting began this morning to determine which of the two finalists reigns supreme. Voting closes at 9 p.m. on Thursday. The winner will be announced December 11 at the 2024 Best IN Manufacturing Awards Luncheon at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis.

“It’s been truly amazing to watch – round by round – the cream rise to the top in this year’s competition, which has been tremendously fierce,” says Vanessa Green Sinders, Indiana Chamber president and CEO. “We celebrate right alongside Hard Truth and Harpsicle Harps, applauding their amazing accomplishment. 

“Beyond that, we salute all 90 great Hoosier makers that have made this tournament special and are thrilled this event has put the spotlight on them and the statewide business ecosystem that in part makes their success possible.”

The finalists’ product descriptions can be seen on the event’s website. Fans and followers of the finalists can be part of the competition by voting online at www.indianachamber.com/coolestthing.
