Folks couldn't shop any smaller on Small Business Saturday than the booths at the Sarasota Farmers Market.

The weekly, and well attended market, was packed Saturday in downtown, and ther restaurants saw their share of business, too.

American Express offered its card users a $25 credit on their statement if they spent $25 at a local restaurant after unlocking the special on Foursquare.
