Interesting. HomeSense has been a sponsor of sorts for a while. They were giving out a lot of free stuff at Nationals in London '05. I like sponsors that give out free stuff.

Very interesting. HomeSense is part of the TJX family of stores. They also own TJMaxx and Marshall's in the U.S.

It looks like Marshall's/HomeSense is on the road to becoming the biggest sponsor of North American figure skating.

(I also see that the venue for Skate Canada is the "Save-on-Foods Centre." Salsa chicken thigh kabobs, $198 a skewer! )

CDMM, it will depend on where you are sitting. I missed a give-away by one row at nationals. They gave out large gift bags full of goodies to the first five rows when I was there. The bags contained all sorts of kitchen items, i.e. spatulas, aprons, other kitchen utensils.
