The 20th annual Iola Vintage Military & Gun Show with Vintage Tractors and Equipment on Aug. 13-14 will have many activities for entertainment and a variety of collector’s interests on the Iola Old Car Show Grounds.

The Iola Vintage Military Show promotes the conservation, preservation and display of historic military equipment. Organizers of the event recognize the display of military history as an important role military veterans and their equipment have made for peace and freedom.

The array of other collector’s vintage military vehicles and equipment of the past will continue along with Vintage Tractors and Equipment which played such a big part of the past.

For comparative and educational purposes living encampments will set up near the swap area with re-enactors. They will be involved in living history and weapon demonstrations. The popular World War II battle reenactments will happen both afternoons as well as a re-enactment of the Vietnam era on Saturday afternoon.

The Gun Show continues to be a convenient indoor exhibit on the grounds. A variety of gun related items will be for both exhibit and display. During the day, The Community Blood Center will be present for a blood drive.
