Rent the Den Gear for Your Summer Events

Planning a grad party, a birthday, or a neighborhood block party? As the football off-season kicks in, we realized we have a trailer full of quality event gear just waiting for the fall. Instead of letting it collect dust, we’re sharing it with the community. Rent party supplies without the big company prices. Every rental directly supports the Den.

What is available for your event:

  • The Essentials: 6-foot and 4-foot folding tables, cafe tables, and black linens.

  • The Setup: 10x10 canopies in red or black.

  • The Cold Drinks: 150-quart Igloo coolers and heavy-duty Orca coolers.

  • The Entertainment: Pro Peavey speakers, Giant Jenga, and a tug-of-war rope.

  • The Showstoppers: Our 7-foot inflatable Bearcat and the full Tailgate Trailer.
