Downtown Washington businesses are open and taking part in today’s Small Business Saturday. The goal of today is to support and celebrate small businesses and how they help communities, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Main Street Washington Director Sarah Sadrakula encourages families to shop local today. She explains of every $100 spent $72 stays in the community. Sadrakula adds the local businesses owners are excited for today and many have unique gift ideas.
