FreshBooks has been out in force in our lovely hometown, Toronto, in the past few days. We’ve sponsored PodCamp Toronto and DemoCamp, and Mike and Saul spoke at Third Tuesday last night. We’ve also done a couple fun things with customers.

Toronto Marlies hockey game

On Sunday, in conjunction with Yahoo! Search Marketing Canada and PodCamp Toronto, we held a contest to take folks out to the good ol’ hockey game. We also brought along a few of our customers. It was a sell out game, and although the Marlies lost 1-2 to the Hamilton Bulldogs, it was a hoot. Thank you, Yahoo! for providing the box and the munchies. And go Marlies! We’re rooting for you to win the Calder Cup!
