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.

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.
