Other businesses benefited from the extra peole visiting the town.
I know when we hire the Town Hall for our meetings, there are an extra 50-80 people I see shopping in the town afterwards, who wouldn't otherwise have been there.
(Although the Town Hall's closed now on Saturdays, it will be opened if someone hires it.)
