Sparks explains volunteers have been meeting since the wind-up of the actual anniversary.
One project which has been getting support is the construction of a brick clock tower in the shape of a derrick. The clock tower could be placed on the boulevard near the intersection of highway 38 and the railway. The plan is to formalize the committee and select a chairman and executive, so the present funds can be leveraged to obtain other grants. Sparks is encouraging interested members of the community, representatives of community groups, as well as retired and active oilpatch workers to participate in planning the Legacy Project. The interim group is also considering some support for the Discovery Derrick.
