Hello,
I will be going to the show this week end the 26 and wanted to know if they have any wheelchair rentals out at the show. I'm good to go but, my mother is 77 and isn't getting new knees until Feb. She's been a rock hound forever and I told her I'd take her with me. She says I shouldn't bother and if she gets tired she can sit in the car. Well, that doesn't work for me. I want her to have as good a time at the show as I will. Any info would be great.
Thank you, Perez

I am not aware of any rentals. Maybe call the chamber of commerce??

I am a amputee n zometimes cant take my wheelchair. I cant wslk long distances even with my prosthesis. You should be able to call any medical equipment supply in town and rent a chair, even a electric one. You might have to pay rent for a week. I would get the collapsible portable electric with pull out battery pack.

Best bet is to take one with you- second best is to call the Hospital/clinic in Q ans ask them about where to rent.

You used to be able to rent those power chairs all over the place in Quartzsite but I haven't seen any in the past two years. I'll bet business went to heck with them too. Hope you find a way to get her around there. I'm wondering if the vendors would allow you to drive in to the rows so she could get out here and there to look, the area is generally foot traffic but people do drive through there all the time.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Looks like we've found a chair for her. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
