Don't feel obligated - and don't do it unless you want to. LEGO is
our hobby - not a work commitment. I'm willing to handle it by myself.

Actually the tables wouldn't be required, as they have them there for
only $8 each. They require that the tables be skirted though, so I was
just going to get a roll of green paper to use as "skirts" and for green
baseplate substitutes. That big van should be able to hold about ten
times the amount of LEGO as my Honda though... :-)

Important update - A fellow Bricksmith (James Powell) has offered to
lend me any of his stuff (about 100 cars/10 engines, 580 straight, 14
points, etc. of track) including (I think) some buildings.
I'm not sure if that's more than Michel has, but it's certainly a lot.

Agreed - I've already (I think) made that clear to them - yes.
