WOW. i didn't think they would cancel it. i see they are just postponing the swap and flea market part and hopefully will have them at a later time.
a former boss who is now retired has had swap spaces at Iola since it started. i have been sharing his spaces and have been selling parts there for the last 25+ years. i was talking to him about it a couple of days ago. he told me they cashed his check for the spaces pretty quickly after he mailed them in.
i guess his father helped start Iola. he was the person with the vintage popcorn wagon selling popcorn about 15 years ago and earlier. when his father passed away they no longer allowed him to sell popcorn because he wasn't doing it for charity.i guess he was the only for profit food vendor at the time. a couple of years ago they let a few for for profit food vendors sell but they won't let him sell popcorn anymore.
