This photo from 1987 was given to us by The Daily Idahonian and was most likely taken in Moscow. Does anyone recognize the young garden helper?

Welcome to #WhereIsItWednesday! Today we enjoy a picnic in what might be Robinson Park. Or maybe not. Where do you think this is? And do you recognize any of these people? Let us know in the comments!
