Frequently Asked Questions for Central Illinois Events

Are there travel fees for delivering to rural areas like Eureka or Lexington?

No, we do not charge specific travel fees for serving the communities within our primary Central Illinois service area. Our pricing is straightforward and all-inclusive.

How far in advance should we book for a popular or busy weekend?

For major community event weekends or popular summer dates, we recommend booking as far in advance as possible—ideally 2-3 months. This ensures you can reserve the specific attractions you want before they're booked by others.

Is renting equipment for our church event a better value than buying?

Absolutely. Renting provides access to professional-quality, fully supervised attractions for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. It also completely eliminates the hassle of storage, maintenance, insurance, and finding volunteers to operate the equipment.
