🧵 James Galanos ([gulAn´Os]) was an American fashion designer, couturier and photographer. He was born 20 September 1924 in a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Galanos graduated from Bridgeton High School in Bridgeton, New Jersey in 1942 and went to New York City intending to enroll at a school headed by Barbara Karinska, a Russian stage designer and costumer. When the school failed to open in the autumn, he enrolled at the Traphagen School of Fashion. He attended two semesters at Traphagen, the first spent in general design studies and the second in draping and construction. Galanos left the school after eight months, in 1943, because he felt that what he wanted to learn could only be acquired from practical experience in the garment industry. Galanos died on 30 October 2016 in West Hollywood, CA.

🧑🏼‍🌾 The Greater Bridgeton Amish Market came to Hopewell Township in June of 2012, and has been serving the community with a variety of Lancaster County, Amish Vendors. The theme of "Meals & Memories, Made Here" comes from the quality merchandise being extended from Lancaster County PA to the rural countryside of Bridgeton NJ. Families gather to shop and fill their tummies with quality, homemade meals and tasty treats, before the children might go for a mule driven wagon ride, a relaxing swing, or to feed the goats, while the slower generations relax in a rocker on the front porch, enjoying the simple things in life. Merchants include: Balic Winery, Country Home Baking, Dienner's Bulk Candy & Food, D-Lee's Deli & Cheese, Dutch Country Meats, Dutch Family Furniture, Dutch Family Restaurant, Dutchway Structures, Everfresh Salads, Fern's Homemade Soft Pretzels, Kingsway BBQ, and Sunny Ridge Farm, all bringing you quality products making it worth the drive.
