McLeansboro made a small footnote in aviation history on September 26, 1911, when it received one of the first air mail deliveries in the country. Today it's a quiet Hamilton County seat with six municipal parks and Lake McLeansboro for fishing and walking trails. Backyard parties and reunions here get the same setup as any closer booking. McLeansboro is Zone 3 — a flat $200 travel fee, shown as its own line. Central time, same as Evansville.

Party DJ FAQ — McLeansboro, IL

Who shows up to DJ my party in McLeansboro?

Terry Tunks, every time — no subcontractors, no rotating staff. The person you talk to on the phone is the person running your sound and mic on the day, and that's been true for 1,200-plus events with zero no-shows.

Is there a travel fee for McLeansboro?

Yes — McLeansboro is Zone 3, a flat $200 added to the package price and shown as its own line in your quote before you sign. It never gets blended into the package number.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. Once we've talked through your date, I hold it for 7 days with no payment. A 50% retainer, non-refundable, then locks it in the moment it clears. The balance is due on the first of the month before your event.

What do you need for power?

One dedicated standard outlet is enough for most parties. For bigger lighting setups I'll want a second circuit so the lights don't share with the sound. If it's an outdoor party with no power nearby, tell me early and we'll plan for it.

What if it rains?

For an outdoor party I need a covered spot for the gear — a tent, porch, or garage works. We'll talk through a rain plan when we go over the space so nobody's scrambling on the day.

Do you play kids' parties?

Yes, and I keep them moving — games, requests, clean music. Tell me the age range and I'll plan the energy around it.

What if the party runs long?

Extra time is $100 an hour, arranged on the spot if you want to keep it going. No separate contract.

Can you do a slideshow or video?

Yes on the Party Plus and Full Send tiers — bring the file, I'll handle the playback and the timing so it runs when you want it to.
