What a day it has been. Old Cars Weekly editorial directory Brian Earnest has been interviewing a long line of car owners for use on our www.ThisOldCarRadio.com online station.

The weather has been good, the lemon-ade cold, and the fried cheese curd was crispy as can be.

Throughout the day I have been making my way out through the Swap Meet area looking for some more circus/auto related photos. Don't ask my why, but I can't seem to say no to circus memrobilia. And when there just happens to be a circus truck in the picture...then it is just that much harder to say no.

I've also had a great time hanging out with some of our advertisers and meeting some of the interesting folks that make Old Cars Weekly the great publication it it has become.

Each day I'm snapping photos as I trek out across the show grounds. You can check out these daily photo updates in my album which you can view by CLICKING HERE.

And remember, if you want to see more of the action than I have been shooting, you can always take a look at our online Iola Old Car Show web cams by CLICKING HERE.

Since I can't even begin to take photos of all the great cars and swap finds, be sure to post photos of your own, from Iola, or any show that you attend in the Old Cars Weekly Community Photo Albums.

Well, I'd better get back out there...somebody said that they might be running low on cheesecake on a stick...and who can resist a treat like that?...especially when it comes on a stick!

I just wanted to let you all know, that even though the Iola Old Car Show hasn't even started yet, we are already bringing you photos from the show!

This morning as I was cruising into the office I noticed that there were already roughly 100 swap vendors lined up out in the staging area...ready to roll onto the car show grounds and start setting up today at 3 p.m. CST.

Since I have been itching for weeks for the show to get underway, I took a moment on my lunch break to run outside of the office and take a few photos of the cars that are already on the grounds.

Also, Dan Halverson has been busy setting up our streaming video cams that are mounted around our offices and on the Car Show Tower, be sure to check out the cams to see all the action later today as the swapmeet vendors start setting up.

You can check out the action by CLICKING HERE.

Once you are on the Old Cars Weekly Cam page, simply click on the camera you want to view along the left hand side of the page...and be sure to watch closely to see if you can spot Old Cars Weekly editor Angelo VanBogart and the rest of the Old Cars Weekly gang as they scamper about the show grounds.

See you in Iola!
