Here you go -- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Personal-PA-Systems/ci/13465/N/3992462030 -- lots of options from $25 to $750.
I just picked up a couple of the $25 ones to try out as intercom systems for our ticketing windows (customers outside the window can't hear us because the lobby is too loud.) If you want a "real" PA system I would probbaly start with the Behringer $100 model and work up from there.

We are going to have a crowd ranging from 25 to 65 and kids none the less so I was thinking this one.

You can power a wide variety of regular audio things off of a 12V battery (heavy duty or marine preferred) and a power inverter. You'd have to invest in a battery charger to charge the battery at the end of the day. Whisperwatt generators are practically silent too, just so you don't have to go out and buy all specialty audio gear...
Can't argue with the price. Now I just need to convince the wife that we need one....

Take a look at MIPRO products, substantially better than Pyle.

There is also the Sennheiser LSP500
http://en-us.sennheiser.com/sound-systems-wireless-loudspeaker-lsp-500-pro
It's completely battery powered. Modular and can be expanded later. Works with most Sennheiser G2 receivers if you already have a set.
Saw them demo'd at InfoComm this year and was blown away at them.

Did you end up going with this? How's is it working for you? If not, did you go with something else?

I did go with it. The girls that were using it said it worked great. The wireless mics are made of cheap plastic and feel like they are going to break but that was to be expected from the price point. The speaker did the job pretty well for the outside area we needed to fill. Hooking up an ipad/mp3/iphone the quality was a bit poor but I didn't buy it for that function.
We really didn't push it to the limits of a drained battery as the presentation only lasts about 30-45mins tops.
Still trying to convince the wife to get it are we?

Fyi my sister bought the Behringer handheld unit for for $119 from Sweetwater (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EPA40) for her womens' alumni association, to use for luncheon meetings, garden tours, etc. So far they love it. The unit came with an extra battery -- one of the batteries was defective, but the support through Sweetwater has been exccellent. no tax or shipping, and free two year warranty, so they get free replacements on anything that breaks within two years. And it's so cheap, if this one breaks after two years they can just buy another one and they're still well under the cost of most comparable systems.
Not just yet. I have a group at another school looking for something like this.
That being said, tailgating season is coming up.....
