The Iola Old Car Show began when a group of local collectors decided to meet at the Iola Lions Club's annual chicken barbecue. 

Last summer, more than 110,000 people attended the show. 

Iola Old Car Show is a production of the Iola Old Car Show, Inc. a non-profit corporation established for the betterment of our area communities and to advance the specific charities of the member organizations. Approximately 3,000 volunteers provide 29,000 volunteer hours for their civic groups and organizations.

Since the club’s chartering on Feburary 17,1949 its members have worked on a variety of projects in the local community, such as their Spring and Fall Community Work Nights, Cans for Camp, eyeglass and hearing aid recycling and  Lions Health Fair. Proceeds from past fundraising events have gone to scholarships, local wheel chair ramps, Food Pantry donations as well as numerous others.

The club is getting ready for their  Diabetes Awareness Day in March, Spring Community Work Night in May and the Old Car Show in July.

We are proud of our club’s 73 years of community service.
