We are based in Albany, 55 miles from Howard Lake, and we have been hauling chairs around this county long enough to know which weekends disappear first. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Howard Lake is about 55 miles out from Albany — roughly 75 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. 55 miles each way is a real trip, so this is where the delivery quote actually matters. Ask and we will give you the number before you commit.
Howard Lake has around 2,142 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. A Howard Lake party is usually somebody's yard, a hall, or a shed cleaned out for the weekend. All three work fine with a trailer parked alongside.
We cover Howard Lake as part of a run through Wright County that also takes in Waverly, Cokato and Winsted, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Flat pricing means you can budget the party before you know the final headcount — which is the order people actually plan in. Nothing about this is complicated, and we work to keep it that way.
Bounce houses are the one thing we never hand off on a trailer. We deliver to Howard Lake, 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 Howard Lake: 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 Howard Lake 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 Howard Lake is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
Always. We deliver to Howard Lake, 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 55 miles from Albany, roughly a 75-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 Howard Lake, which is 55 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
A chair or two out of 178 is wear and tear, not a problem. The deposit is there for real damage, and in practice we have rarely needed it.
Usually yes. Midweek is quieter for us than Saturdays, so extending into a Monday or picking up on a Thursday is often easier than people expect. Ask in the booking form.
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.
