Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 50 miles from Alexandria. Family owned, one trailer, one price. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Alexandria is about 50 miles out from Albany — roughly 65 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 50 miles, towing it yourself is the economical call if you have the vehicle for it. If you do not, we will quote the drive honestly.
With about 14,869 residents, Alexandria is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Alexandria runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.
We cover Alexandria as part of a run through Douglas County that also takes in Nelson, Forada and Garfield, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. One number, agreed on the phone, unchanged when you return it. We have never seen a reason to complicate it. We would rather turn down a booking than take one we cannot do properly.
Bounce houses are the one thing we never hand off on a trailer. We deliver to Alexandria, place it, anchor it and test it before we leave, then come back and take it down. That is not an upsell — an unanchored inflatable is genuinely dangerous in Minnesota wind, and staking it correctly is not a job to learn on the day of your kid's birthday.
What we need from you in Alexandria: a reasonably flat patch of grass, a few feet of clearance on every side, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet. If you are not sure your yard works, describe it in the booking form and we will tell you honestly.
Most Alexandria bookings that start as a bounce house end up needing chairs too, because the parents who bring the kids need somewhere to sit. The trailer package is $299 for the weekend with 178 chairs and 4 tables, and booking both at once means one form and one schedule to keep track of.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Alexandria is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
Always. We deliver to Alexandria, place it, anchor it and test it, then take it down afterwards. We do not let bounce houses go out on the customer-tow trailer — anchoring one correctly matters too much.
A reasonably flat patch of grass with clearance around it, and an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet for the blower. Describe your yard in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.
About 50 miles from Albany, roughly a 65-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Alexandria, which is 50 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.
No. Chairs, tables and bounce houses is the whole list right now, with tents and yard games coming. We would rather do a short list properly.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
