Re: Iola old car show
Got the email yesterday about this. A great time to be had for all, especially since this last year, keeping my fingers crossed for a more normal 2021 !!!

Re: Iola old car show
Off subject, I love the pole barn at Iola! We don’t see that stuff out west at all.

Re: Iola old car show
Our group stopped at the Iola Show on our way to the Early Ford V-8 Club's 2015 Central National Meet in Brainerd, Minnesota. We all had a great two days at Iola, but unfortunately the meet at Brainerd had to be canceled due to a severe storm.

Re: Iola old car show
The Boy Scouts don't serve the breakfast any longer, but they do offer a hauling service of your large purchases and parts. Jeff's group has been serving the choice of pancakes, sausage, and coffee or orange juice, or you can cross over and get scrambled eggs, ham, coffee or oj. Good fast breakfast to start your day of interesting searches in the aisles of Iola.

Re: Iola old car show
Strange to me that all you midwesterners would rather talk about pancakes than the pole barn. To me, those barns are national treasures. Don’t even get me started on cupolas!

Re: Iola old car show
This pole barn is merely a large metal shed. No treasure.

Re: Iola old car show
Well, they must have torn it down. I haven't been there in years, but it wasn't merely "large", it was gigantic, and was a pole barn. To my recollection, it was down by the roadway at the lower corner. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me?

Re: Iola old car show
There is a barn down by the road. The pancake place is a steel shed. I was confused as to what you were talking about.

Re: Iola old car show
The barn down by the road is the "Toy Barn". Vendors with model cars, etc set up in there.
For many years the local Lions Club sold fried chicken (lots of it!). I think that's not being done anymore. Things change. |

Re: Iola old car show
The Toy Barn really is an impressive building. Looks to be over 100 years old. Stone construction ground level, classic heavy timber barn second level. While my son is checking out the toys, I'm taking-in the barn. Agree with Ford38v8, old barns like this are national treasures.

I believe the year of that trip was 1998. I took a full month driving my '38 from Detroit, zigzagging up and down these 48, and home to California!

Re: Iola old car show
I have a pole barn to keep my car collection in. It is 80 by 200 feet, used to be a rodeo arena. Can’t beat it until you try to heat it.

Re: Iola old car show
Pole barns were originally built using something like round telephone poles sunk into the ground but now they are primarily built using treated square posts.

Re: Iola old car show
Exactly, very good explanation. Mine is 8 x 8 square posts. You could never afford to build it today. White oak posts and the rest of the building what appears to be clear cedar. Mostly 2 by 10 and 2 by 12 lumber.
