We are based in Albany, 21 miles from Rice, 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.
Rice is 21 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. If you have something rated to tow, 21 miles is nothing. If you do not, the flat delivery rate to Rice is quick to quote.
Rice has around 2,126 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. The events we see out of Rice are the ones a town builds its year around — graduations, anniversaries, benefits, wedding receptions in a pole shed.
We cover Rice as part of a run through Benton County that also takes in St. Stephen, Royalton and Bowlus, 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 Rice, 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 Rice: 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 Rice 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 Rice is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
Always. We deliver to Rice, 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 21 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-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. Flat-rate delivery applies to Rice, which is 21 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
Friday is standard for a weekend booking, but if the trailer is free Thursday you can often have it then at no extra charge. It depends who has it before you.
No — you pull them off the racks and place them where you want them. That is part of why the price is what it is. Bounce houses are the exception; those we always set up ourselves.
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.
