    Elizabeth Applewhite: Trusting Fully ... All the Way Home
    Jan 22 2026
    Elizabeth Applewhite has lived all over the world, but she has already decided that she's going to die in Bonham, Texas. She loves her new community that much! When she purchased her house near Bonham's Historic Square, she didn't know much about this community. But she quickly fell in love with the people, the history and the small town charm in Bonham. The community has even inspired this self-proclaimed "bookish introvert" to get involved and give back. On this episode of Bonham Now, Elizabeth Applewhite shares her incredible journey that brought her "home," and she talks about her heart for Bonham, Texas. #bonhamnow

  • Alicia Whipple: Where Pride Runs Deep

    Alicia Whipple: Where Pride Runs Deep
    Jan 8 2026
    There is a constant thread throughout this episode of Bonham Now ... pride! That's because our featured guest, Alicia Whipple, is extremely proud of her hometown. That pride shines through as Alicia shares her story (and her resume) that led her to be County Auditor. It comes out when discussing old traditions coming back to life in this community. But it's probably most evident when she discusses the courthouse renovation, which she had a front-row seat for. The coolest part of this sit-down conversation with Alicia Whipple ... it took place inside Fannin County's beautiful treasure on the historic square. #bonhamnow

    Johnny White: 'People Don't Care How Much You Know..."
    Dec 22 2025
    Johnny White is a salesman – through and through. Through hard work and dedication, he climbed the ladder of his company - all the way to the top. He was the company's No. 1 salesperson. After retiring, he found his way to Bonham, Texas. He now lives on Lake Bonham and he's still selling (in a new, different and wonderfully great way.) Johnny is now selling Bonham, and he's selling the local Kiwanis Club. He lives by a very powerful creed: "People don't care what you know, until they know how much you care." #bonhamnow
