Pillows and, yes, despite requests from organizers, feathers flew on Saturday as Newmindspace attracted several hundred people to Yonge-Dundas Square for their annual pillow fight. The good-natured battle started with an intensity and energy that only abated when the first feathered pillow burst, an eruption that was met with a sigh that rose quickly to a cheer. At the end of the event, the square’s security personnel fretted about the amount of down covering the concrete, but plenty of volunteers stayed behind to help clean up.
