The Helmet has been a tradition at Kingfisher High School football games since it was built in 1995. Steve Sanders and a group of his friends and Kingfisher residents built the customized golf cart out of a defective liquid fertilizer tank they bought from a manufacturer in Louisiana. Equipped with horns and flashing lights, The Helmet leads the high school football team onto the field and circles the endzone after each touchdown.
