Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 57 miles from Cosmos. 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.
Cosmos is about 57 miles out from Albany — roughly 75 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. 57 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.
Cosmos is a small town — about 505 people — and the seating for anything big usually gets borrowed from three directions. A Cosmos 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 Cosmos as part of a run through Meeker County that also takes in Cedar Mills, Lake Lillian and Atwater, 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. You are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. There is nobody here to escalate to, and nobody who needs to be.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| Chairs you actually use | What you pay | Cost per chair | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 chairs | $299 | $7.47 | Same trailer, same price |
| 80 chairs | $299 | $3.74 | Same trailer, same price |
| 120 chairs | $299 | $2.49 | Same trailer, same price |
| 178 chairs | $299 | $1.68 | Same trailer, same price |
One flat $299 for the weekend whether you pull 40 chairs off the rack or all 178. Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. That is the whole reason we bundle it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Cosmos, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Cosmos on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Delivery quoted by distance for Cosmos. Bounce houses are always delivered and set up by us.
$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 Cosmos is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 57 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 Cosmos, which is 57 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.
