Nick, I see you are in Eau Claire.

I am in Milwaukee. You should have some of this snow we are getting walloped with right now, it would help your trails.

I have not seen any torches here over the winter, they get packed away for the holidays.

I would give Lamplight Farms a call. They are down here in Menomonee Falls, just 30 minutes northwest of Milwaukee.

If nothing else, they could tell you if someone local to you might have some tucked away for the winter... Lowe's, Home Depot, Menard's or a local garden center.

The real basic Beachcomber torches usually run about $5-$7 in peak season.

One torch full of oil would probably give you a burn time of 3-5 hours depending on the wick length.

Good luck with your event!
