Singer Chayce Beckham returns to Apple Valley, Receives Certificate of Recognition

I was proud to present "American Idol" frontrunner Chayce Beckham with a Certificate of Recognition during last night’s “American Idol Hometown Visit” in Apple Valley. Chayce had previously joked on the show that there are “no more apples in Apple Valley,” so we joined him in planting a ceremonial apple tree in the park. The season finale of “American Idol” is scheduled for 5 p.m. May 23 on ABC. We are all rooting for you, Chayce!
