"We just stayed on a wait the entire time," said Josh Cranford, of Front Street Brewery. "It was very positive and people just kept coming and going, just bringing more people downtown spreading the wealth."
He says events like Small Business Saturday are important to make sure the downtown area continues to thrive.
"We definitely had more foot traffic yesterday," said Trisha Tidwell, of The Wonder Shop.
