Logan and Sydney Nussbaum

Hey, look! Spiderman. No, two Spidermen. Actually its Logan Nussbaum and his sister, Sydney. They were among countless youngsters who dressed up for the BFR Halloween party on Oct. 25. Logan and Sydney are the children of Rick and Aphaphanh Nussbaum of Bluffton.

Check out the Halloween photo gallery for more BFR Halloween photos. And as a reminder, stop by 226 Grove St., Bluffton, home of the Icon on Oct. 29 to get your photo taken. The Icon plans the largest-ever Bluffton Halloween photo gallery.

Ben and Jodi

Interviewed by Mary Pannabecker Steiner
