COLORADO (KOAA) — Voting has opened for the Colorado Chamber's Coolest Thing Made in Colorado People's Choice Award.

The 4th annual contest celebrates the diverse manufacturing capability of our state.

“The People’s Choice award is one of the most exciting parts of this contest as it gives Coloradans the chance to support their favorite products from local businesses across the state. These finalists showcase the creativity and innovation happening in Colorado, and we’re excited to see which product will stand out as this year’s People’s Choice!"
Colorado Chamber President and CEO Loren Furman

The things range from new farming technology to minimize resources, to interactive attractions suitable for anyone who loves a challenge.

Two finalists are from right here in southern Colorado: the Autonomous Nano Tractor from La Junta, and the InnovaFlex Arrays from Colorado Springs.
