Since our 49th Black Walnut Festival™ when he sang his first song to the Festival audience he has been a crowd pleaser and the public demands his appearance each year. Adam and his band, Custom Built will provide us with an unforgettable evening of fast, wonderful country music. Coronation Ceremony tickets will be on sale at the Spencer Municipal Building.
