Second Annual Taste of Galloway Coming in June

Following last year's successful "Taste of Galloway" event, the Galloway Township Business Association (GTBA) is bringing the event back to Historic Smithville and the Village Greene this June.

This year's event takes place on Thursday, June 27, from 5 p.m.-8 p.m., the GTBA announced on Wednesday, April 10. Last year's event generated more than $4,000 for the Hope Chest at Beacon Church. No beneficiary for this year's event has been named at this time.

The event offers residents from Galloway Township and the surrounding areas the opportunity to sample food from restaurants in the area. Last year's event allowed other individuals and organizations the chance to put themselves in the public eye. Last year, the Noyes Museum of Art Stockton College and Flopsie the Clown were both among those who had tables at the event.

This year's event will once again feature a "Get Involved Galloway" area for local non-profits, clubs and churches. Entertainment will be a showcase of local talent in the “Gami Got Talent” cabaret featuring Absegami students and alumni.

Galloway businesses and community organizations hoping to get involved in this year's event should visit http://www.gallowaybusiness.com/taste-of-galloway for more information and a registration form, or send an email to tog@GallowayBusiness.com.

Absegami students and alumnus who wish to participate in the talent portion of the event should send their name, phone number and your act to talent@gallowaybusiness.com.
