Specifications :
Completed oil derrick should stand 6’ (72”) tall once completed. Model should be secured to a based that makes it stable so it will not tip over. Structure will be in public area at fair and future events. Base needs to be sturdy enough to not be blown over or tipped over. Structure should be manufactured out of sturdy plastic material that is weatherproof (rain and fade proof). Materials should look like wood and have those characteristics. At the top of the structure model should have changeable streamers. Red, white and blue for this year and then black and brown for future years. Streamers should be blown upwards out of the top of the structure using a blower and clear plastic tubing. Division is hoping to power the blower with a Solar Generator (Jackery Explorer 1500 v2 Portable Power Station) with the option to use normal AC outlet when close enough to power. Visitors should be able to push a button on a small podium to start up the streamers (hitting oil). Option to set a timer for a certain period when podium button is not being used is a requested feature. Display should be able to be separated into a minimum of two sections for ease of transportation and storage when not in use.
