After 141 years, Bonita now has an official song. “Home in Bonita” by 16-year-old singer-songwriter Ella Aldridge was named the Official Song of Bonita by a gathering of community leaders January 25 at the Bonita Museum and Cultural Center. Aldridge will perform the public debut of “Home in Bonita” February 9 at 10 a.m. at the Sweetwater Community Church, 5305 Sweetwater Road. The event is free and open to the public.
