Joe was promoted to Executive Director after the 2019 show and is so excited to continue the great tradition of directors before him!

Sponsorship
Director
Julie has been with the car show for over 10 years. She began her employment with us as part-time office help and soon after transitioned into a full time position. Julie's primary focus is the development of the sponsorship program and she enjoys building relationships with both new and existing sponsors. Contact Julie at julie@iolaoldcarshow.com
to discuss sponsor opportunities.

Gearkids program
Coordinator
Hayden is our college help who is an amazing team player
(and an incredible baker)! You might see him prepping the
grounds for the show, or travelling with Ali to other events, and
now you'll see him heading up the youth outreach program.
Contact Hayden at hayden@iolaoldcarshow.com for any
youth-related event ideas!
PIT Crew
Earl, Paul and Shawn make up our revered Pit Crew. These gentleman are the heart and soul of the show. During the show you can find them "putting out fires" (in the figurative sense, hopefully) and in the off-season they are remodeling, repairing and improving all that is needed to keep the buildings and grounds in tip-top shape!
We also employ seasonal help in preparation for the show - both retired adults and high school students!
RETIRED
Executive director assistant
Mary has been with the car show for over 29 years and is now happily RETIRED!!! Please join us in congratulating her on the many years of service and dedication to the Iola Car Show. We would certainly not be where we are without her decades of hard work and guidance. Your patience is appreciated while we transition to a work life without her constant presence in the office.
