One of the questions asked by many show goers this year has been “Where’s Jerry?” Jerry Sleger, the “One Man Band” has been a feature at AirVenture from long before it was called AirVenture, playing polkas and other favorites on this corner near the entrance on the south side of the show.

Unfortunately for his many fans, Jerry retired last year, and was recognized by EAA for his many years of entertaining young and old with his talents.
