Want to borrow/rent camping equipment in Illinois (chairs, table, cooler, ect)

My girlfriend and I are going to be attending a music festival in Danville, IL in September, and were hoping to find some camping equipment we could rent from someone local for a fair price. We've flown to festivals in the past, and hate having to buy crap stuff just to get us through a few days, only to leave it behind. We are most interested in some decent camp chairs, a folding/roll-up table, and a small-medium sized cooler. We plan on bring everything else needed, but some things that might make the trip even more enjoyable would be a tent we could stand up in and some kind of EZ UP or shelter. Keep in mind they need to pack small enough to fit in a compact rental car. We're flying in to Midway on 9/10 at about 12:30pm, and will be returning to Portland on 9/15 at 7:30pm. I would need to pick-up/drop off on those same days. Danville looks to be about 140 miles due south of Chicago, and we'd rather not go more than one hour (30 minutes each way) from our route south in order to pick up the equipment. We'd also be happy to leave a deposit, or cover any damages. Granted, I'm not looking for Snow Peak-type of gear here, just something a little better than a $10 bag chair and a Styrofoam cooler. :sombrero: If you think you might be able to help me out, please PM.

Thanks!!

I haven't bought/sold a bunch on ExPo, but ebay can vouch for me:

Maybe post in the Midwest section? Or on Facebook in Great Lakes Overland Society or MORG(Midwest Off Road Group).

you may be able to rent a lot of this from a local REI as well

Thanks for the ideas, both had crossed my mind, but I guess I need to work a little harder at sourcing these items as I've had no luck so far. I'll post in the sub-forum here and give that a few days before going to Facebook. I contacted REI, but no luck with chairs/table/cooler. I'm really hoping to find all these in one place, not wasting a bunch of time driving.

Any other ideas let me know!!

Thanks again!
