After a brief summer vacation, #PhotoIDFriday returns! 📸✨ This is a fun one. Just take a look at that Ford Mustang, the driver’s cool aviator sunglasses, and the crowned children in the back seat who are knighted “Little Mr. & Mrs. Springdale”! 👑🕶️🚗 The car’s sign suggests they are with First National Bank in support of the poultry industry. We think this may have been for the Rodeo of the Ozarks parade right here in Springdale. 🐔🤠 Can you help us solve this history mystery? 🤔 👇 We know the photo was taken in 1968, but do you recognize any of the people in the car? And while we're at it, who is the woman just passing through in the background?
