The City of Bonham Animal Shelter is thrilled to announce a special adoption event on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

Fannin County Commissioners Court voted to conditionally extend the completion date for the second access road at the Platinum Energy BESS facility near Savoy. This means that Platinum Energy won't be required to pay $450,000 if the second access road isn't completed by the original deadline in July 2026. The project was delayed because a necessary easement was only secured from the City of Savoy on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. The amended deadline is October 5, 2026. Pct. 1 Commissioner Troy Waggoner pointed out this is strictly meant to be a fire lane, and not for public access.

1975 – Vietnam War: Operation Frequent Wind: The U.S. begins to evacuate U.S. citizens from Saigon before an expected North Vietnamese takeover. U.S. involvement in the war comes to an end. This happens after the Bombing of Tan Son Nhut Air Base. Operation Frequent Wind was the final phase in the evacuation of American civilians and "at-risk" Vietnamese from Saigon, South Vietnam, before the takeover of the city by the North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) in the Fall of Saigon. It was carried out on 29–30 April 1975, during the last days of the Vietnam War. More than 7,000 people were evacuated by helicopter from various points in Saigon. The airlift resulted in several enduring images. Evacuation plans already existed as a standard procedure for American embassies. At the beginning of March, fixed-wing aircraft began evacuating civilians from Tan Son Nhat Airport through neighboring countries. By mid-April, contingency plans were in place and preparations were underway for a possible helicopter evacuation. As the imminent collapse of Saigon became evident, the U.S. Navy assembled Task Force 76 off the coast near Vũng Tàu to support a helicopter evacuation and provide air support if required. In the event, air support was not needed as the North Vietnamese paused for a week at the outskirts of Saigon, possibly waiting for the South Vietnamese government to collapse and avoiding a confrontation with the U.S. by allowing the mostly-unopposed evacuation of Americans from Saigon.
