Penn State's Berkey Creamery is one of the 64 contestants in this year's 'Coolest Things Made in PA' contest. This is the creamery's first time in the contest.

Voting is open for this year’s ‘Coolest Thing Made in PA’ contest.

Some of the products include Penn State Creamery ice cream (from Berkey Creamery on the University Park campus), Sheetz MTO (headquartered in Altoona) and Zippo Lighters (based in Bradford.)

The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry picked 64 Pennsylvania-made products for the contest. Last year, there were only 32 to choose from. Primanti Brothers sandwich won that contest, which drew more than 30,000 votes.

The chamber doubled the number of nominees and chances to vote this year because of the contest's popularity in 2023.

Voting for this year’s contest is available on “PA Chamber’s” X and Instagram pages until mid-April.
