NCR Party Trailer & Reservations

The North Central Region of NC (Cullom, Flat River, North Roanoke, and Tar River Baptist Associations) in partnership with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina is now the proud owner of a party trailer.  Representatives from each association have joined with other leaders in purchasing and equipping an 18 ft. trailer for use of the churches within these associations. 

The party trailer will be perfect for community block parties, festivals/fairs, VBS, and/or other church/community events. But as you will see in the party trailer policies, it is not for use of individual church members, only for congregational sponsored events and/or activities.

*TRBA will not cash the second check and will return the check if:

2) The inflatables, equipment, and other items are properly stored.
3) If there are no damages or repairs needed.

Application:
Please remember that the use of the trailer is on a first-come, first serve basis.  Merely making application does not guarantee use of the party trailer on the desired dates.  Our notification that the dates are available does not confirm your reservation.  
Member churches MUST follow through with the application and contribution process within ten business days of the date availability notice or the dates will be offered to the next church on the list.  
Please note-The North Central Region has NO staff and we cannot call or email you that you have not completed your reservation process. 
1) Call and check on availability of dates.
2) Upon confirmation, send in two checks (1 for $150 and the other for $100) along with your application.
Note: We must receive both the checks and the application within 10 business days before the dates are permanent.

Required Training:
The state of North Carolina requires some degree of training before persons can use the inflatables on the party trailer.  At least one trained person must be with the inflatables at all times. Effective September 1, 2011, it is manditory that at least 2 people from each church attend hands-on training. This training is offered 4 times a year at Tar River Baptist Association. Training must be done within the year the party trailer is used and must be repeated each year. 

2013 Training Dates:

March 7 at 6:00 pm
May 2 at 6:00 pm
July 11 at 6:00 pm
August 15 at 6:00 pm


All trainings will take place at Tar River Baptist Association in Louisburg. 

Necessary Forms:
1) The Event Coordinator and the Driver of the Trailer must have a simple background check done. TRBA can run this free of charge or if you have had one done recently, we just need to see documentation. See Release form below.
2) The Driver must complete the Driver's Form. (Listed below)
3)The Church must provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance covering the Inflatables.


General Information:
  • The party trailer is not a trailer that can be "worked from" like a concession stand. It is used to haul and store the items listed below.
  • To pull the trailer, a 2 and 5/16 ball is required.
  • The North Central Region does not provide supplies (popcorn, syrup, etc.) for the event -  only the equipment. The supplies list is updated as churches share where they made purchases of the necessary items.
  • TRBA encourages every church to do background checks of ALL volunteers working with children.
