Last minute political event setup in Lincoln Nebraska
We know what you are thinking…. “But wait, Big Ten Rentals is located in Iowa City, Iowa not Lincoln, Nebraska which is about 300+ miles West! It takes a special rental company to deliver multiple bleachers, bike barricades and black retractable stanchions for crowd control and pipe and drape for the backdrop. We were able to mobilize, deliver and set up for this event starting at 1:30 PM on Thursday, March 3rd.
