To prepare for his Wednesday appearance on NBC’s “Today” show, Clayton’s Kevin Bunn pitched his invention “The Sock Dock” in his living room, using his son’s telescope as a stand-in for a TV camera.
Bunn and his family are among nine finalists in the “Today” show’s “Next Big Thing” contest, each vying for the $150,000 top prize and a Saturday morning pitch live on the home shopping channel QVC.
