Virgin and Firkin and TIFF oh my.
The 4SQDayYYZ party is turning out to be quite the event. Considering we’ve had no funding and we’re working/planning on our downtime - I’m seriously impressed by all the amazing Toronto businesses that have come out in droves to support the event. Uhm, Toronto ROCKS!
For all y’all that haven’t been following our posts or tweets, or the folks who have missed a few updates - I’m going to grocery list all the amazing sponsors and giveaways as well as what you have to do in order to win. It starts with showing up and checking in on Saturday.
Each one of the prizes listed below require you to be checked into the event in order to win - step one. (excluding the Virgin Mobile Canada contest because that’s a whole other ballgame)
Okay here we go, roll call (in no particular order):
The folks at TIFF have provided us with two autographed Tim Burton books.
