'We're still here': San Rafael merchants go big for Small Business Saturday

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (KGO) -- Several cities in the North Bay were making a big pitch for Small Business Saturday, a day to shop local for the holidays and support local businesses. One community even made it snow.

A winter wonderland was brought to life on San Rafael's Fourth Street, with a little help from a snow-making machine.

Two blocks of downtown were closed to cars on Small Business Saturday for a chance to hang some tinsel and invite shoppers to explore and spend some cash.
