Bonham -- The ramps will be installed Friday night and the high-flying stunt riders of Maneuver Motorsports will be sailing through the air in historic downtown Bonham beginning at 9:00 a.m. Saturday as part of the Heritage Day Celebration festivities.
The fun begins bright and early as registration for the Car & Truck Show, registration for the Kid's Car Show and the Motorcycle Fun Run get underway.
Sons of Confederate Veterans will stage Wild West Shootouts at various times throughout the day, as well as giving Frontier Living demonstrations at Fort Inglish Village.
Music is always an important part of Heritage Day and the main stage, located on the northwest corner of the Bonham Square, will be the place to catch all the entertainers.
