Bonham, Texas -- Valentine's Day came early in historic downtown Bonham, thanks to the first annual I Love Bonham Valentine Stroll, held February 11-12 and sponsored by the Bonham Area Chamber of Commerce.

Shoppers enjoyed a Valentine treat while visiting participating Bonham businesses, and one lucky winner picked up a basket containing $300 in Bonham gift cards.
