By Iola Car Show

This. Is. Iola.

Iola is family and friends. Iola is swap, show cars, camping, and car corral. Iola is volunteers and spectators. Iola is every type of weather. Iola is special guests and events. Iola is nostalgia and memories. And all of this is what makes us whole. It’s not one part, one area that shines above the others … it’s all of us.

We have so many people to thank for helping put on such an amazing show …

To our volunteers – Thank you for being the most committed and tenacious workforce! So many have stepped up to the plate and the show could not be what it is without your dedication.

To the vendors – Thank you for making Iola one of the strongest, best and most resilient swap meets in a climate where swap meets are shrinking and dying. Ours certainly is not!

To our car corral-ers – In the golden age of technology, thank you for making Iola one of the best places to buy and sell vehicles the old-fashioned way.

To the exhibitors – Thank you for sharing your beautiful cars with us. The memories they bring back and the excitement they elicit are why we do this.

To our campers – Thank you for making Iola a family tradition that grows each year.

To our sponsors – Thank you for seeing the value in attending our show and offering our customers new and exciting products!

To our special guests – Thank you for the incredible opportunity to meet you in person and bringing your iconic name to this small town!

To the pit crew: you guys are incredible! The way you serve everyone on the grounds is amazing! To call you rock stars isn’t a strong enough word.

It takes an unbelievable amount of work, worry, care and stress to create an environment that brings so much joy to so many people. And it’s worth every ounce of it.

From all of us to all of you, thank you thank you thank you!

We’ll see you in 360 days for Iola 2023, July 6-8!

We will be doing an after-show sale of merchandise! Give us a little bit to get that up and running.
