  • We made it through another week, so unwind with a new round of #PhotoIDFriday! 🕵️‍♂️📸

This mystery photo features a scribble naming the adult male as "Jimmy Roberts.” But that leaves us with a few questions: ❓ Who is Jimmy Roberts? ❓ Who are the children? ❓ When, where, and why was this moment captured?

If you have any clues, let us know in the comments!

This is our second installment (check out last week's post!) featuring Little Mr. and Mrs. Springdale, likely during the historic Northwest Arkansas Poultry Festival parade. 🐔✨
