Turning the idea around...

If someone has some land, renting a generator would set us back $100-200
for the day (depending on power... 25kW runs around $75/day, 100 kW runs
around $200/day)..  Necessary other electrical gear (spider boxes, etc.)
might add a bit, but that's the ballpark.  

And, you'd get the thrill of hearing the generator load down when you all
throw the switch together...
