Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 15 miles from Richmond. 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.
Richmond is 15 miles from our trailer yard in Albany — about 20 minutes. That is close enough that we can usually deliver at no extra charge. 15 miles means the tow is not really a factor in your decision. Do whichever is easier on the day.
Richmond has around 1,504 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. Richmond events tend to happen in the places a town this size actually has: the church hall, the community centre, the ball field, somebody's shop.
We cover Richmond as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in Cold Spring, Roscoe and St. Martin, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. You are renting a loaded trailer, not a chair count. Nobody tallies what you used when it comes back. You are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. There is nobody here to escalate to, and nobody who needs to be.
Bounce houses are the one thing we never hand off on a trailer. We deliver to Richmond, 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 Richmond: 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 Richmond 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 Richmond is separate and quoted by distance — free delivery applies here.
Always. We deliver to Richmond, 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 15 miles from Albany, roughly a 20-minute drive. You are practically next door.
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. Free delivery applies to Richmond, which is 15 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.
