Saxon Lutheran Memorial to fire up brick oven, film history documentary

FROHNA, MO (KFVS) - Saxon Lutheran Memorial is inviting the community to join in baking with their outdoor brick oven and have a chance to be an extra in a historical documentary.

The oven is usually ready to bake around 9:30 a.m., according to curator Lynda Lorenz, and she said she expects it to last until at least 12 p.m. because they are expecting a lot of people.

Things that bake well in the brick oven include: pizza, bread, rolls, brownies, muffins, casseroles, meat, cake, pie and pretzels.

Lorenz said they will keep the oven hot for any late-comers. Because two scout packs are expected to camp their over the weekend, she said they will probably use the oven later in the evening.

Lunch will be served.
