Abstract: A lightweight, portable battery-powered overhead fan including secure attachments for a standard outdoor canopy or other like article is provided. Such a fan further includes blades that are configured with resilient connectors that allow for such blades to tilt or fold for stowing purposes while also securely attaching during actual use in a safe and reliable manner. In this way, each blade attaches to a centrally located portion that rotates during fan operation. The canopy attachments are provided in stowable fashion as well to permit compact transport of the overall fan device to and from an event for which a canopy is erected. Such a device further includes the potential for a fluid reservoir and atomizer component to deliver fluid droplets for increased cooling purposes as well as a light integrated therein or attached thereto. A canopy including such a fan device is also encompassed within this invention.
