Three Startup Finalists Vying for America's Votes to Become October Dream Big America Champion

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today on Dream Big America (www.DreamBigAmerica.us), powered by Sprint (www.Sprint.com), three startup finalists pitched live on a nationally broadcasted radio show for their chance to become the October Dream Big Champion. The three finalists from October's bracket-style pitch competition include Santa Signal, Hanger Hideaway, and Darn Good Yarn.

The spokesperson for each of these early-stage companies gave a two-minute pitch of their business concept to the national Dream Big America listening audience. The Dream Big America show is broadcasted weekly on the Doug Stephan Good Day Show (www.dougstephan.com) and through a live audio stream on www.DreamBigAmerica.us. Audio recordings of the pitches can also be found on the Dream Big America website.

Following the show, listeners and supporters have the opportunity to vote for their favorite startup company by visiting the Dream Big America website or by texting 'DBA' to 612-223-DREAM (612-223-7326). The voting period ends Wednesday, October 29th at midnight Eastern Time. The startup that receives the highest number of votes will become the October Dream Big Champion. The Dream Big Champion will be announced on the Doug Stephan Good Day Show Friday, October 31st.

Santa Signal (www.Santa-Signal.com), invented by Erik Knear of Riverside, CA, is a sound and light system that generates the lights and sounds of Santa Claus and his reindeer. Knear was inspired to create Santa Signal from his own child's experience. "My proudest moment was watching my son's reaction when he first heard Santa Claus and saw Rudolph's nose light up the fireplace. There was absolute magic in his eyes," said Knear.

Hanger Hideaway, invented by Renee Bentley of Meridian, ID, is a patented hanger storage solution. Bentley invented Hanger Hideaway out of her own necessity for a simple, hanger storage solution, and to avoid the age-old problem of untangling a pile of hangers. Hanger Hideaway is in the process of licensing and marketing.

Darn Good Yarn (www.DarnGoodYarn.com), founded by Nicole Snow of Schenectady, NY, brings connection to crafting by employing women in India to handcraft yarns from reclaimed materials. Snow, a US Air Force Veteran, created Darn Good Yarn as a way to take two of her passions in life, art and helping others, and combine them. The result was Darn Good Yarn: a yarn and fiber importer, wholesaler, and retailer.
