Minion Hydrant - Ardmore, OK - Painted Hydrants on Waymarking.com

Not long ago, this was a red hydrant with an orange cap, and it had probably been this way since the 1990s. In 2019, Create Ardmore and the Ardmore Fire Department worked together on a beautification effort in which fire hydrants in the downtown Cultural Arts District -- a comparatively small number compared to the over 1600 hydrants that the Ardmore FD has to maintain throughout the area! -- would be given the glamour treatment. As the Ardmore FD requires that the hydrants have a specific color cap -- red, orange, green or blue -- to indicate how much water pressure each tank has behind it, they did the priming work, leaving local volunteers to use their imaginations and minimal guidelines in the effort.

The orange cap has been repainted, and the hydrant is mostly yellow, with the Minion's overalls in blue, trimmed in black. His eye is the outlet cap. Note his bespectacled companion, one of the concrete posts protecting the hydrant: A look at Google Maps shows that the undecorated post has been knocked down in the past, so the hydrant probably needs all the help it can get.
