​
1. One (1) X 20’ gooseneck trailer (28’ total length) attractively wrapped to engage
audiences and provide a backdrop for the educational kiosks. The trailer is wired should
electricity be needed for any of the displays.
2. Eleven (11) educational metal kiosks that roll off the trailer and open up to display a
variety of agricultural exhibits intended to help the non-farm population learn more about
farming and the source of their food. Commodities may include dairy, sheep, pork, eggs,
beef, turkey, broiler chickens, crops, environment, pulse crop, or local foods. Kiosks are
interchangeable should a client wish information portrayed only on a few topics. All kiosks
will have information for audiences to pick up. (e.g. recipes, fact sheets, etc.). Mystery
boxes can be incorporated into the kiosk display.
3. The Trailer and displays will arrive on-site at a time mutually agreed upon by the event
organizers and the driver. On occasion, due to trucking logistics, it may be necessary for
the display to remain onsite past the closing time of your event. This will be discussed
between the Event Organizer and the Driver.
4. If possible, it is preferred that the trailer be included in the kiosk display area to provide a
more effective overall display. If event space availability does not permit placement of the
trailer with kiosks, then parking for the trailer must be provided on the grounds as close to
the kiosks as possible.
5. One (1) additional roll-off bin that opens up to display “Mini Maple the Cow” (a hands-on
a learning tool to educate about the dairy industry), as well as one (1) roll-off bin with

included if discussed prior to the set-up date.
6. An electrical outlet is required for “mini Maple”.

present with the trailer for its duration at your event. *If requested for a fee, two (2)
Durham Farm Connections Agricultural Ambassadors may be available to be on-site with
the trailer and kiosks during operating hours of the event to engage with the visitors.
